    Hi folks. i have just had am mot done on my renault megane scenic automatic 1.6 r reg 1997.
    the readings are

    fAST IDLE SPEAD
    CO 0.594 SHOULD BE 0.300
    HC 200 SHOULD BE 47
    LAMBDA 1.034 SHOULD BE NO HIGHER THAN 1.030

    SECOND FAST IDLE TEST
    CO 0.607 SHOULD BE 0.300
    HC 42 SHOULD BE 200
    LAMBDA 1.015 SHOULD BE 1.030

    NATURAL IDLE TEST
    CO 0.193 SHOULD BE 0.500

    AS You can see it failed. any ideas what could be the problem? there is a slight leak on the fron exhaust pipe that needs a plate on which they are fixing, but the garage said that with the readings been so high they dont think this will cure it. They said I may need a new cat convertor but they are not sure. Has anyone got any ideas please? Thanks julie
