Change The Car From Oem.

[Kwasaki]

When a car in Thailand gets to 5 -6 years old it has to go through a check right ?

So say 2008 spec car has changed the throttle bodies, changed the exhaust system to a performance type, changed to brighter headlights and fitted a Air horn, how would it fair in the test.

[John 1]

the test is at 7 years any of those mods won't be a problem. depending where you get the check done it's normally brake test black smoke test and make sure light's and horn work. then check engine and chassis number

Right so I would assumed they would not go on what the car was like when it was manufactured like in emissions.

They seemed to be tough on emissions when it comes to larger Motorbikes.

I have an old truck,a Sportsrider, they never even checked the Suspension, the Shocks were dangerous.They pipped the Horn,checked the Hi/Lo Beam on a Boys Leg., jamed the brakes on, and finaly the Soot on a tissue.Passed, no Prob.

bikes in TH, strictest emmission in the world

petrol/gasohol cars, as long as cat is in place no problem

to be sure, use an authorised test center, avoid DLT

Motorbikes :- Does that go for the mopeds & scooters or is it because most large bikes are made here in Thailand ?.

Car Test :- Is an authorized test centre the office where you get the road tax and people take there driving tests or is that the DLT ?.

What does avoid DLT stand for ?, Dodgy, Lying Toe-rags, that's going to be difficult.

Catalytic converter :- Seriously that was one of the things I had in mind, on converting exhaust systems some say take off the ' Cat ' , and some old cars don't have one.

So if the 2008 model had a ' Cat ' fitted then it must still have to be there at the 7 year car test ?.

bikes, yepp all new bikes come with cat, and Honda chose to introduce injection on all models to manage emission. Th emission for bikes is on par with California, and recently introduced in Europe but not mandatory yet EuroIV

DLT, Department of Land Transportation

When a new car/bike comes with a cat it is because it is needed to pass emission requirements. If not makers wouldnt spend money on it. and yes it must work for lifetime

If you take cat off.

1. make sure Lambda is still connected and working, if not your ECU will tell injection to lean burn far to often, run with extremely little fuel, providing overhetaing of pistons. expensive holes in piston.

2. save cat as later you must install it again to pass emission. cat is expensive, contains platinum

Cor blimey haven't heard that word used since my Volvo T5.

what, Lambda?

believe Volvo was the only maker bragging about using lambda with a badge when cats where introduced. Its like saying "our coolers/radiators have thermostats".

[Kwasaki]

I was only saying I haven't heard Lambda since having my Volvo I sure everyone knows what it is.

I have an old truck,a Sportsrider, they never even checked the Suspension, the Shocks were dangerous.They pipped the Horn,checked the Hi/Lo Beam on a Boys Leg., jamed the brakes on, and finaly the Soot on a tissue.Passed, no Prob.

Thank's "John 1 " it's 7 years for first test, so do you have to take it every year after that for a test ?.

Thank's " indegestion " was it a DLT ( Department of Land Transport.) place you took it to or an authorized test centre ?.

Thank's for info " kbb " 1. If an old car that does not have a " Cat " it would be OK then ?.

2. Why avoid a DLT place for tests ?.

older car, older emission requirements

at DLT your f-ckd if caught, at a test center there are ways to solve issues

testing is every year after you start, 5th year for bikes, 6th year for cars/pickups, 1st year for commercial big plate vehicles, taxis etc
