Chipped as well is a failure

[smithpa7]

I wonder how many people out there have chipped their cars, especially the guys with TD's? This could upset a lot of people 

Darn: Too slow, as usual

[henryd]

crikey ,there are a lot of chipped diesels of all makes on the road,its a big business

[MaxV6]

not to mention all the road legal competition vehicles, whether for circuit or rally..... 

[aaronjb]

ECU chipped, unfortunately they have found a way of telling through the OBD port (diagnostic plug) on how to tell if the engine is chipped and if chipped you guess it its an MOT failure.

All I can say on that is ..

Group buy on carb's anyone?

[edit] Oh - it's worth reading the rest of that thread, btw, rather than just the headline post

As for mods - well, if we fall into line with Europe, anything not TÜV approved will be illegal and, thus, an MOT fail, I suppose..

[mrgreen]

surely there's a way to make the chips legal, as for the lights to me halogens are only blin´ding me from behind anyway

[albitz]

How could they justify MOT failure purely because an engine has been chipped. If it passes emissions, where,s the problem ? :-/

[waspy]

Mine's chipped & they can get dekcuf

The man to ask is 2woody, & he's always said that HID's aren't ilegal with or without washers or level system  :-/

They hold all the keys.


In reality, I would expect only the likes of EDC15 cars can be checked, can't see how they could check a DDE2.0 or 2.1.  Not sure about the older Motronics either  :-/

Either way, I have my original chip if necessary, even if its only in for 3hrs a year

[Debs.]

I`ve noticed a significant increase in the amount of severe dazzle from oncoming vehicles on unlit rural roads; the light more-often than not has the tell tale hue of HID......I have no doubt that properly aligned OEM HID`s or standard wattage OEM headlights are not to blame, as they seem to be easy to spot and are in an decreasing minority hereabouts.

Selfishly fitting aftermarket HID (w/o self levelling) or increased output and/or non 'E' conforming beam pattern lamps, can have severe consequences for other motorists on narrow/twisty/wet and unlit roads.
I`ve nearly been in a ditch on several occasions having been totally blinded by such lights (just as badly as if they`d been left on high beam). 

It isn`t a 'them and us' MOT/VOSA issue.....there`s REAL danger to lives.
