Posted this in the vag com section but never got any replies so thought I would try here too, if the mods don't want it in here please remove and accept my apologies

My engine management light came on again so I scanned, and it came up with this code
1 Fault Found:

16804 - Catalyst System: Bank 1: Efficiency Below Threshold

P0420 - 001 - Upper Limit Exceeded

this is the 2nd time since buying the car that this code has come up 1st time i got it check at dealers. They said that nothing was the matter with it so they cleared the fault, what i want to know is, why if nothing wrong with it would it re-appear and where is the sensor(s) that it relates to?

the car I have is an A4 2001 2lt petrol saloon any help appreciated
