diesel car emissions Frequently Asked Questions
What is the law in mot's regarding diesel cars of pre 1979 vintage?
I am under the impression that cars of this age are not emission tested. It is just a visual test.
The only emission test applicable to Diesel engines is the measuring of exhaust smoke density. The test involves accelerating the engine several times to its maximum unloaded speed. Note: it is of the utmost importance that the engine timing belt is in good condition before the test is carried out.
The limits for Diesel engine exhaust smoke, introduced in September 1995 are:
Vehicles first used before 1st August 1979: Exempt from metered smoke testing, but must not emit "dense blue or clearly visible black smoke for a period of more than 5 seconds at idle" or "dense blue or clearly visible black smoke during acceleration which would obscure the view of other road users".
Non-turbocharged vehicles first used after 1st August 1979: 2.5m-1
Turbocharged vehicles first used after 1st August 1979: 3.0m-1
Excessive smoke can be caused by a dirty air cleaner element. Otherwise, professional advice may be needed to find the cause.
Can I register a 2005/6 Mercedes CDI (diesel) in California?
I live in California and I'd like to buy a 2005 or 2006 Mercedes E320 CDI. I know that when they were released, they were not originally sold here (due to emissions regulations, or something like that).
However, I've been seeing some of these CDI's for sale in California and elsewhere. They are all presumably originally from other states, in any case.
Would I have any problems, or should I follow any special procedures, for registering such a car in California (including if I buy it from out of state)? Judging by the fact that they are occasionally sold with California plates by dealers in California, I assume that this might not be difficult.
Shouldn't be a big deal, the DMV might have you get a VIN inspection if it is out of state.
