Hello all..... Had my 01 TT serviced at 60k at MING'S Auto Repair, who may i add is a honest and reasonable priced mechanic...thank you forum for directing me to him.... but he told me that my car was throwing a bad CATALYTIC CONVERTER code... He also told me that if the catalytic converter is bad the factory will replace it so long the car is under is 8yr/80k.. I'm the second owner of this car and the factory warranty has expired... But he insisted that this is mandated by emissions.... Have any of you guys ran into this?

 

might wanna google that one. I have heard something similure to that before

 

I've read into it a little and i guess if your going for your yearly emissions inspection and in the event that you fail due to a bad converter there is a Federal mandated emissions warranty that has the factory replace it so long the car is under 8yrs/80k.

I also heard this, but i don't have a cat anymore so i am screwed on my next inspection!
