Hello,

Has anyone ever used VAG-COM to generate a readiness code?
What steps are required for this?

Is it possible to have an AU (Authorization Unit) even without a complete Readiness Code? (The "Bit for Kat" is missing).

Thank you.

Hello,

Then, there's still the answer to the question:

Can the AU (acceptance test) be passed even without the complete readiness code? (A specific component, "Bit für Kat," is missing.)


bye

If the inspector is working without an OBD tool, or if they overlook the problem: yes.

Otherwise, it could become problematic if the vehicle's registration document already indicates that it is an OBD-EUxx compliant vehicle.

What does "bit missing" mean? If one less bit is displayed, then the MSG software is not working correctly...

Hello,

Not set for catalyst bit.


Sure, here is the translation of the text from German to English:

"cu" is a Spanish abbreviation for "con usted," which means "with you." It is often used in online communication to indicate that the sender is available to chat or talk.

Here is an example of how "cu" might be used in a conversation:

Person A: "Hey, I'm bored. Want to chat?"
Person B: "Cu!"

This means that Person B is available to chat with Person A.

"Cu" can also be used to indicate that the sender is thinking about the recipient. For example, if Person A is thinking about Person B, they might send a message that says, "Cu."

In general, "cu" is a friendly and informal way to communicate with someone online.

Well -> see above.

Just out of curiosity:
What kind of engine are we talking about? The (1.4 and 1.9) TDIs don't have a catalytic converter bypass, but rather an EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) bypass.
