Exhaust Inspection and Repairs
At Ross MOT and Service Centre, our exhaust inspection service involves a thorough assessment of the entire exhaust system, from the manifold to the tailpipe. We check for signs of wear and tear, rust, leaks, or damage that could lead to poor performance or increased emissions. Some of the common problems we encounter include:
exhaust leaks
Leaks can occur due to cracks, holes, or corrosion in the exhaust pipes or connections. These can result in a loss of engine power, increased emissions, and unpleasant noise. Our technicians will identify and fix any leaks to restore the integrity of your exhaust system.
Rust and Corrosion
Over time, exposure to moisture and road salts can cause parts of the exhaust system to corrode. Rust weakens the metal components, leading to cracks and potential system failure. We will assess the condition of your exhaust and recommend repairs or replacements where necessary.
Exhaust Mounts and Hangers
These components secure the exhaust system in place. If they become worn or damaged, the exhaust can become loose, leading to vibrations, noise, and damage to other parts of the vehicle. Our team will check these supports and replace any damaged or broken mounts.
If any part of your exhaust system is beyond repair, we offer high-quality replacements tailored to your vehicle’s make and model. Using premium components, we’ll ensure that your new exhaust system performs efficiently and lasts for many years.
Catalytic Converter Testing
The catalytic converter is a vital part of the exhaust system, responsible for reducing harmful pollutants such as carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, and hydrocarbons. It converts these toxic gases into less harmful emissions before they are released into the atmosphere. A faulty catalytic converter can lead to increased emissions, reduced fuel efficiency, and failure during an MOT test.
At Ross MOT and Service Centre, we provide catalytic converter testing to ensure that your vehicle’s emissions system is functioning correctly. Our skilled technicians will diagnose any issues, such as blockages or damage to the catalytic converter, and recommend repairs or replacements where necessary. By keeping your catalytic converter in good working order, you can reduce your environmental impact and stay compliant with emissions regulations.
Emissions Testing
In the UK, emissions testing is a mandatory part of the MOT test for petrol and diesel vehicles. This test ensures that your vehicle meets the government’s strict environmental standards. At Ross MOT and Service Centre, we use state-of-the-art emissions testing equipment to measure the levels of pollutants being emitted by your vehicle. This includes checking for:
- Carbon Monoxide (CO): High levels of CO indicate incomplete combustion, which can be caused by engine problems or issues with the exhaust system.
- Hydrocarbons (HC): Elevated HC levels suggest that unburned fuel is escaping through the exhaust, often due to poor engine performance or a faulty catalytic converter.
- Nitrogen Oxides (NOx): These pollutants are a result of high combustion temperatures and are a significant contributor to air pollution. A properly functioning exhaust system helps reduce NOx emissions.
If your vehicle fails the emissions test, our technicians will diagnose the issue and offer the necessary repairs to bring your vehicle back into compliance. This might involve repairing or replacing parts of the exhaust system, such as the catalytic converter, oxygen sensors, or other components that affect emissions.
