Default Final Smog Attempt here in California...I need serious help. Please chime in.

No awd dynos = OBD scans...

I have a tq convertor fault (DTC) that I can not afford to fix right now, but I'm way overdo on the smog check. I had my local shop look at it and they couldnt figure it out, and it needed to go to the dealer...Too costly for me right now.

I need to find a way around this, at least for now. Something like swapping ECU's https://forums.audiworld.com/s4/msgs/2521287.phtml ?

Maybe a crooked smog shop? LOL.

Anything and everything will help. Thanks

Default TC doesn't affect SMOG, you should pass, I thought it was only Emmissions related

things that cause you to fail?
