Or will it be another full test with having to get a brand new appointment etc? TIA

If it is a hole in the exhaust could you get it welded instead of a new one (€50 instead ≈€180)? Maybe even some epoxy (≈€15 depending on the hole? (Can epoxy withstand the heat?) if it's not a hole please ignore this post.
