Petrol or diesel?? A$ or A4??::P:

Ok. My A4 was using a lot more fuel than it should, so I had it plugged in, and got the same reply as you. I changed the temp sensor and the problem was solved. The reason being the car was remaining on choke and putting more fuel in than it could actually burn, which is not only a waste of fuel but will also turn your emissions reading to absolute fly poo!!
Change the sensor mate, then take the car for a very long run to clear out your cat (cause it will be full of crap) and then take it to MOT whilst it is running nice and hot. All Audi's should run at 90 degrees c, but make sure the cat has had a good heat up before the test.
Good luck with it mate.
Cheers.
Scooby.

Cheers for advice scoobs. It's an A4 petrol.

Got temp sensor changed, and failed again. This time they reckon its the Cat and cracked manifold. I'm gonna change the Cat myself and fast weld the manifold. I'll do the long drive and put it though MOT tues/weds.

Keep ya fingers crossed, can't afford any more rectification coz im getting married in 13 days. Must be mad.

The over fuelling will have done the cat in, might be worth changing the lambda as well if it still won't play the game.
Good luck with the wedding.:PDT_Xtremez_19:
