    Its not the vin number its the manufacturers plate value. I should of been more specific. If no plate value then refer to default.

    Vehicles manufactured in or after 1980 must be tested for exhaust smoke using an approved diesel smoke meter. Make sure you follow the smoke meter manufacturer's instructions.
    When testing automatic transmission, you might want to check the vehicle manufacturer's instructions so that you don't overheat the transmission system. Avoid unnecessary engine acceleration or prolonged high revving of the engine.
    Before the test, check the maximum smoke level limit for the vehicle and enter the required details into the diesel smoke meter.
    For vehicles first used before 1 July 2008, the limit will be one of the following:

    the level specified on the manufacturer's plate

    2.5m-1*for a non-turbocharged engine – if it's not stated on the manufacturer's plate

    3.0m-1*for a turbocharged engine – if it's not stated on the manufacturer's plate

    The Vin is visible on my windscreen. The sticker which is on the drivers door which shows a value of 0.8 has been removed.

    It’s in today, I’ll let you know how it goes. I replaced the EGR and it feels so much better, pulls really well. Thanks for the replies, it’s appreciated

    Surely the rules are referring to main vin plate / sticker with all the axle weights and manufacturers smoke coefficient value .



    A window vin is just a secondary / third , quick externally viewed way of ID .
