What car have you got? Did they give you a copy of the emissions print out? Failing that, what's the exact failure described as on the fail sheet?

To the left shows a 2013 Citigo.

 

@lozza123Welcome.

I will flag your post for a mod to move it to the Citigo section.

(Maybe a change of title would be a good idea.)

I thought your issue was not having a leak in your exhaust so that the waffer thin mint caused excess back pressure?
