Failed Emission Test

[rfkellner at snet.net (Rick Kellner)]

I was afraid of that.    
As I mentioned, I am going to give my local VW guru a call tomorrow and
read him the numbers and see if there is any chance he can get them in
spec.  If not I will have to 'rent' the cat Cathy has on the shelf for
just these occasions. 
Rick.

My 1987 16V failed its emission test on Friday.  The NOx was over by a
fair amount however all the other emissions were very low.  When the NOx

is brought into specs the other will rise.  Here are this year's numbers
and the numbers from the last test two years ago.  I want to make sure
it is in specs when I go for the next test since you only get one free 
re-test.  I will probably just bring the car to my local VW mechanic and
have him set it up and check it on his machine before the state test.
