quattro not passing emissions.HELP!!!!

[Muhammad Sohaib Bukhari]

I tried one of those Guaranteed stuff too, didn't work! Actually my car 
didn't pass the emmissions either. Took it to the dealer twice and they 
looked at it, and said there is nothing wrong with it. Told me to drive it 
for about and hour before taking it to test. Still didn't pass, so I took it 
to a local garage and they said one of the injectors was bad, I said replace 
it but I shall pay for the whole deal only IF the car passes. The car passed 
withy flying colors.
Going to the dealer twice=$160
Changing the injector=$200
Passing the emmsions=$39.99
Driving a quattro= priceless!
