Failed on emissions.
Says one of the sensors is playing games. My engine management light was on when it went in for its mot, and as soon as i drove it away after it..... the light went out!!! 
Anyway, it only passed on the natural idle speed test.
So what do yous think the problem is????
Oh, and dont hit me with this paperclip bullshit, cos it dont work on my 16 pin plug.

quite impossible to say with out reading the code on vaux, if you cant do it your self..
there is so many things in engine wich can be broken and cause bigger emissions.
lights is for that you know whats the fault in engine, there i no help on guessing...

Put it in again for its retest (free) and the light came on again!!! so the guy turned it off and left it for 5 minutes then turned it back on and the light was off........... and it passed fuckn vauxhalls !!!
So what causes it to run richly????

Use the clip to find out
Better way to diagnose problems in the ECU and cheaper than Vaux
