Failed emissions test barely.....I'm bummed
I took my 380SE to the Smog test only store today and it passed everything but the 15MPH HC, by 48 points (168 over 120to pass) and in NO 215MPH by 160 points. 1234 over 1074 to pass. It passed the CO with flying colors by better than 50% at 15 and 25MPH. HC at 25MPH passed by 1 (94 over 95 to pass) and NO by 14 points(890 over 904 to pass). Guy said I probably need a new O2 Sensor and possibly a Catalytic Converter. Suggested a good MB mechanic that really knows emissions.
OK who in the northern Los Angeles area would you recommend? Enrique at Mr. MB? I have 15 days to get it fixed and less till the sticker laspes. Should i bite the bullet and just get the exhaust replaced and the O2 sensor, or???? BTW the old gal is running as sweet as she ever did...according to her PO. She did great today...except the Emissions test.
