Hi,any one of you will be affected with ulez euro4 emission?Im 4miles from it atm but august coming soon and thanks to mrWa&nker my lovely rs6 will cost me more to drive around at shes not complaint.If i drive ones i month i wont bother as its 12.50 a day,but i use this car quite often and cameras are on every corner where i live so not really happy to pay each time i move.Anyway atm i have 3" catless miltek incl DPs,had chat with some exhaust guys and all says its just matter of good cats to fit in and car should pass euro4.its really not much to meet the emissions so not sure,shall i give it a go and see?Cats itself are 1K plus labour to fir it.At the same time im thinking to do valved back boxes too.I spend far too much to part with her and i really enjoy driving it every minute,did 3k miles since sept so she get used.Ta

For others this is how you get the exemption for particular cars. You just prove they are clean enough anyway.

I don't think it's possible. Sorry.

Retrofit your vehicle

Check your vehicle to see if it meets the LEZ emissions standards. If it doesn't, you may be able to retrofit your vehicle with emissions reduction technology.
Emissions reduction technology

Emissions reduction technologies include:

Selective catalytic reduction, which reduces NOx emissions
Replacement Euro VI engines
Converting a vehicle to electric power

Retrofit technologies need to be approved by the Clean Vehicle Retrofit Accreditation Scheme (CVRAS). This government scheme, funded by Defra, establishes common standards for all Clean Air Zone cities.

CVRAS has certified emissions reduction technologies for certain buses, coaches, HGVs, and refuse vehicles.

As retrofits need to be calibrated to specific vehicle models, and not all vehicles can be covered. We expect more conversions to be available in the future.

Information about the retrofit process and a list of suppliers is on the CVRAS website.

There are currently no CVRAS approved retrofit emission control systems for pre-Euro 4 petrol cars and we do not expect any to come to market in the foreseeable future. The Euro 4 standards for petrol cars came into effect between 2004-2006 and generally cars first registered with the DVLA after 2005 meet the Euro 4 standard. This means cars that are up to 18 years old are generally compliant for a CAZ, LEZ or ULEZ.

Yes. It seems unambiguous to me.

Don't worry.
It's all a big con. Little to do with air quality, as only about 15% (and reducing all the time ) of vehicles are not complient.
Once it's established they will just keep moving the target, probably until everyone has to pay to drive, regardless of vehicle emmissions!
