Default CA Smog and the OBD problem, HELP!!

Hello All, I don't know where else but to goto my Audiworld community resources (IE: You guys ). My GF just bought an Audi TT MY00 and It passed smog and everything fine EXCEPT! it didnt pass the MalFunction Light (Failed) Which made the whole test fail!! The Mechanic said they couldn't get the computer to communicate w/ the OBD2 plug and thats it so they pressed cancel and continued with the smog check and thus equals the Fail. Can anyone make something of this? Should I goto an Audi Dealer? Or ????????? Only Mod is a XS BOV.




Visual Inspection: Pass
Emissions Test: Pass
Functional Check: Fail

Malfunction Indicator Light: Fail

This vehicle failed the MIL/Check Engine Light due to OBD communications failure.

You just took it to another place and it worked fine? Is there going to be any trouble if I fail the smog test twice? I will also check the fusing but what will it under? Like ECU? or OBD?
