Be warned, you cannot sell your car to anyone who will register it in
the 13 county area without a valid emissions inspection. I just found
that out recently when doing research regarding my son's truck. It's a
bummer, but I thought you might want to know.<br>

over $805 in emissions repairs to get a waiver. Replacing just the
pump (sealed) and the valves will still put me over the limit of what I
had budgeted for this mostly project vehicle. I have another car I can
use. I picked up the VW for very little money, it was supposed to be
something me and my friends could tinker with and use for road trips.
Shedding weight, in the form of a large, heavy pump and associated
gear, is something I felt would make a nice improvement. Spending
money to fix a problem that doesn't improve engine performance or
increase the capability of the car in any meaningful way goes against
my principles--especially, when it'll take funds away from my "fun"
project. I now have no choice but to get rid of a solid vehicle that
is otherwise perfect for our project. I won't get another car that has
been engineered this way. If you can't beat 'em and you don't want to
join 'em, go in a different direction.

If you show that you have spent over a certain amount of money to fix a<br>
problem, you can get a waiver for that year only. The next year you'll<br>
have to spend the same amount in order to get a waiver again.<br>
<br>
Modifying the programming of the ECC is *not* a task that you want to<br>
take on yourself. If you can show that the removal of the system does<br>
not affect the compliance with emissions standards for that model year,<br>
you might be able to get away with modifying it, but you'll have to get<br>
to know the programming of your ECC quite intimately and if any updates<br>
to the firmware become available that get pushed to your computer while<br>
it is in the shop, you'll have to patch those updates as well.<br>
<br>
Personally, I wouldn't even attempt it.<br>
