My car is always throwing the check engine light, for catalytic converter efficiency and always has done since I bought it 1 year ago. I clear the fault and a few weeks will go by before it pops up again.

The low cat efficiency fault is triggered when the cats are below 94% efficient, and after I cleared the fault on mine on MOT day (to get rid of the CEL) the car was MOT'd and flew through the emissions test with no problem whatsoever, so even at less than 94% they are still way good enough for a UK MOT.

VAG-COM or VCDS as its now known is invaluable on these cars, and means I can clear the cat fault as soon as it rears its head, and make sure its nothing else.
