EMISSION TESTING !!!

**Protege** · January 27th, 2003 03:26 PM

the emission test is only good for 30 days daw. just passed the test last saturday. our company scheduled for a 3rd party company accredited by LTO for all vehicles under car plan.

on some cars, like mine, they were rev'd hard but I just wonder that they do this selectively because they didn't do this on some cars.

also, keep in mind, that they hav different passing marks albeit for 97 and older cars, for 98-2000 model cars (just an example, though), etc. So, a new car is no guarantee pa pala. I saw year 2000 model cars flunking the test. I didn't even see a bit of smoke come out of their exhausts.

Better follow the advise of the peeps here. Schedule a tune-up and focus on your plugs and air filter. But I agree that a well-kept car is the best insurance. My last tune-up was done last October pa. It withstood two overheating incidents in November and December. I replaced my plugs last November pa. Btw, I have the conical K&N filter ( one year nang hindi nalilinis), equipped with headers and freeflow exhaust system. I only skipped last December's tuneup but I have my car tuned-up once in every three months - change oil & plugs plus a few more.

Accdg to the tester, I just barely passed the test. :lol:

preng djerms, thanks very much for the offer. malayo para sa akin eh dahil dito ako sa cavite. sa July pa rehistro ng auto ko and its a 95 corolla gli. my current problem is "butas" sa may catalytic converter na nalaman ko lang lately. parang tusok ng dulo ng kutsilyo... really don't know how it happened dahil hindi naman ako sumayad. sana hindi makaapekto ito para pumasa auto ko.

hmmm... good idea yung nagpost na may arrangement company nila for a third party certified ng LTO tester.

bro,

i had my car tested last saturday and pasado naman (92 lancer gti).

the certificates lasts for 2 months (printed on the certificate the expiration date which is march 26, 2003)

they just revved my engine up to 2500rpm once then inserted the tube type in the tail pipe

i also noticed in the cashier's window the following fees:

1st test - 300 php
2nd test - 100 php
3rd test - 300 php

sa lottex testing center nga pala ako nagpa-test, located in taytay rizal.

good info bro. two months is better than one month.

saan kaya may testing station bandang south yung accesible via south super highway?

roydok/happy gilmore,

sa Citimotors-Las Pinas, kaya lang di mo makita yung procedure nila. Three weeks bago ko ipinatest yung kotse (94 Toyota Gli), pina tune-up ko lang . Pag well maintained ang kotse mo, you have nothing to worry naman, kahit na lumang luma na ito. May mga kasabay nga akong lancer na L-type, pasado din. Nakakainis lang, kasi yung mga public utility vehicles, grabe mag emit ng usok, lalo na yung mga tricycle. Parang mali yata, kasi usually yung mga private cars, alaga, pero yung sa mga PU, patakbo lang sila ng patakbo, kasi ang gusto lang nila kumita, tapos deferred pa yung implementation sa kanila. Parang unfair yata!!!:roll:

tanong ko lang mga peeps magkano kaya ang pamaintain sa casa halimbawa dadalin ko don para tune up at change oil meron kasing bagong mitsubishi motors sa may dasma cavite, galing din ako sa LTO last week kausap ko yung mga nagllakad ng papeles sa LTO imus sabi nil;a sa akin meron din daw lagayan sa emission testing pwede ka nga daw non appearannce ang sasakyan mo e kaya lang medyo may kamahalan umaabot yata ng 1k plus pero ok na kung ayaw mong maabala tip lang wag ka pumayag kung alam mo na papasa ka naman
