Recently got a machine into my bay that a customer bought a an auction. Customer wants to put it back to the way it was. Hook up disconnected hoses make it run better. Well the complete def system was removed. Tank, controller wiring everything. What's odd is it doesnt throw any codes for these things being disconnected. Apears to have a non oem dataset in the ecu or maybe from another country of origan. Machine had a fire melted alot of the plastic engine parts on top which were replaced before it went to the aucrion. Customer saw price and now is back peddling and wants it to just make it run better what can you do. What's the legal take on doing anything to this machine other then fixing it 100%? Should I touch anything even non emmisions related? Now that I know its emmisions have most likely been tuned out by a reflash what would you do? Looks like we will end up refusing to work on any system unless the emissions are fixed. I know I can legally be held personally responsible by the epa if I modify bypass ect any emmisions but whats my responsibility when that machine roles into the shop?
