Well, just yesterday I made an appointment for the 17th of december for the test. As the garage told me "any time until end of december is fine", should i now cancel the test seeing as it won't be needed starting 2013? Is this official starting 1st of Jan?

is your car newer than 2001 (petrol) or 2004 (diesel) then no
Mine was a 2001 diesel though and it had the diagnostics.....

Well every car I have had in the last 18 years just passed, the cars generally had 100,000-300,000km on the clock & had not been in a dealers workshop for years.

Reason I ask is my 1992 Mustang has an onboard Computer, OBD1 diagnostics & exhaust gas control.

Don't know if OBD1 will be sufficient to be exempted from the Swiss emissions test though.

There is a PDF on this site as well. It says in my case that it all depends on the car's weight and an "Emissioncode". I tried to look for a list of Cars/Emissioncode and ended up with nothing. Anyone was more lucky?

My car has OBD, in fact I check them myself. Maybe I could ask a cop when I see one on the side of the road. What's a good place to find such a cop?

Park your car next to Letzigrund and leave a FC Basel sign on it. Cops will find you...not so sure about the car though  | Quote: | | | | | My car has OBD, in fact I check them myself.

I got a 100chf fine for this about 8 months ago...I was 1 month out of date.  My care is a 2008 Subaru WRX, hardly an emission risk.
