DTC 16805: Warm up catalyst; Bank 1: Efficiency below threshold. Is this a bad cat converter?
I've been getting this code for a few months now. At first, I would clear it, and it would come back within a few weeks. Now it's starting to come back within a few days. I've replace my primary O2 sensors because I had some codes for those and those codes cleared once they were replaced but this one doesn't seem to go away. I was going to try replacing the secondary O2 sensors but some people have been saying it's the cats going bad. Here's the actual log from VAG-COM.
