It's going to an independent tomorrow we'll see what they say.
Is that the way it works though - if the diag says it's wrong no one even actually tests what gasses are coming out?

Hi All
Just had the main dealer fail my 53 plate A4 because the car was giving the following two faults:
16795 Sec.Air Inj sys
incorrect flow detected
16804
Cat system, bank 1
Efficiency below threshold
However the test sheet says 'Emissions not tested'
They want £950 to stick a new cat on which they say will solve the problem, but my question is why not test the gasses ...

Take it somewhere else as that code can be thrown with a faulty o2 sender too. The other code is more likely a faulty secodary air injection pump, won't affect the running as such, but may throw you into limp mode occasionalliy

hhmmm - so that sounds like Tetbury Audi (Gloucestershire) main dealer failing my MOT when they shouldn't and trying to charge me £950 for a pass. Guess that'll cover their loss leader 'free MOT' offer.
If that does turn out to be the case I'll be asking them why they think it's ok to do that.
Thanks for the advice. I'll post back here with more info when I get it.

This is the second case ive heard of in as many days of a main dealer abusing the MOT scheme ,
the first the guy was told his car wasnt able to go through test until it had new discs and pads , well thats garbage and they have no right at all to refuse to test a car for that reason,
and this one they cant fail a car for a fault code read they had no right not to test the emmissions they may ...
