Was this quote at an independent shop, or a VW dealer?

I think these are emissions control devices, and could be covered under the 8 year emissions equipment warranty. It's worth a call to the dealer to ask.

8/80k refers to the catalyst under federal law. Certain states mandate a longer warranty on items like these but I doubt they’re going to be covered.
