To start with my corsa b 1.4 16v blew a headgasket a while back i continued to drive it for a while until a massive white cloud came out of my exhaust. Had repair done with on damaged to the head and working as it used to.

Took it in for an mot and it have failed on co2 emissions. my way of thinking is that the cat has gone due to the vapour n shit what has gone through it. The mot guy has told me that he doesnt know the problem (fair enough) but it could be the lambda not turning? but on the print out for the test it says lambda pass on each run. n then he came out with a load of prices he was going to charge me and i just feel like he was trying to screw me over.

so has any1 had similar problems and help apprieciated

Lambda sensor adjusts other parts of the mixture.

Sensor is also fairly easy to swap out and check.
