Hello all, I don/t want to flog this, but you'll be amused that I have just seen a French site advertising a 2016 ARP4 and stating the cv as 8 and co2 as 164. Anyway I decided to pay up. Well done Ian, you walk away with your head held high to enjoy your new car

On the Coc of the arp4 it is 164 becauseit is the old figure of the plus 4 .This is one of the reasons to buy a 2 nd hand plus4.

As far as I can see manufacturers have the ability to issue new (revised) CoCs in the case of an applicable variation, far example additional tyre or wheel sizes. I don't see why it couldn't apply to correcting an incorrect CO2 figure.

Thierry and Peter, How is it possible that the co2 can be altered like this ? And an alteration to the co2 emissions makes a difference of 3000 euros on the carte grise. I have phoned the factory but have been passed from one person to another and have to call back tomorrow.

I have phoned the factory but have been passed from one person to another and have to call back tomorrow. There is only two possible explantions. One is that an error was made in the new system of measuring emmisions which has now been corrected, or alternatively there was a simple error in transcribing the measurements. I suppose there is a third possibility and that is that the re-map that has been done for cars fitted with the GDI engine has lowered the output of CO2 significantly, Other than a claimed increase in power there is also a claimed increase in fuel economy, lowered fuel use equates directly to reduced CO2. Certainly the reported black coating in the inside of the exhaust pipe that people say has been improved following the re-map points to an overly rich mixture.

Some of the early Roadsters had the Plus 4 data on the CoC………..
The thing about the sooty black GDI exhaust though....which mine had until the flash......was that the sensor ahead of the cat was smooth medium grey, the sensor after the cat was sooty black - and this makes no sense to me at all.
