Golf 1.9 tdi bxe pd engine.

It failed the mot on friday with emissions being double what they should be. I fitted a replacement cat pipe and it failed again today as no difference in emissions.

What the hell?

What else can i do? i have put diesel cleaner in the tank and plenty of fresh diesel. the car doesn't smoke either.

There are no modifications to the engine.

Make sure the air filter is perfect, even fit a K&N as the more air you get in the less smoke. Check the engine for fault codes and the torsion value to see if it is as close to 0 as possible, not 2 or 3 degrees out.
