Modified Audi revealed significant missing catalytic converter issue

A New Jersey car dealership discovered that an Audi TT RS traded in by a previous owner had been modified to hide a significant issue. The modifications affected the check engine light, allowing the owner to conceal the absence of a catalytic converter. The dealership's salesman, Joseph Rodriguez, shared the situation on TikTok, explaining that the car was traded for a GMC Denali without disclosing the modifications. The dealership plans to restore the Audi to factory settings before selling it. Commenters on Rodriguez's video noted that dealerships often do not disclose information about vehicles, suggesting that the previous owner's actions were not unusual. Many expressed little sympathy for the dealership in this case.
