Connecting to the Audi 8B4 TDI engine control unit with VAG-COM

Hello everyone,

I'm having the following problem: I bought an interface 9141 with a 2x2 connector on eBay for my Audi 80 B4 TDI, manufactured in 1993. See the link:

ja, ich weiß....suchfunktion nutzen...habe ich auch, aber mir fehlen die fachbegriffe.
Okay, here's the translation:

'Now, to the problem: I can't connect to the control unit.'
Neither with VAG-COM version 311 nor with 404.
I hope someone can help me here... Do I need to change anything in the program, or is there another version available?
Of course, I have the connectors plugged in correctly, and even when I connect everything, the yellow 'check' light illuminates in the cockpit. Nevertheless, VAG-COM indicates that there is no connection.

I'm hoping for your help again.
Maybe I, as someone completely clueless, just bought junk.

That shouldn't be the problem...
try: "vag-com option*" (remove the quotation marks, leave the asterisk)

You're going to be overwhelmed by this problem. In short: either you can salvage something using VAG-COM options, or you need a decent interface. For example, one from Rainer at the shop.

Regards,
Sure.

Here is the translation of the text from German to English:

"Guste" means "gust" in English. It refers to a sudden and strong gust of wind.

So: Ask your seller why their product isn't working. Why are you buying from them in the first place and then demanding support from us?

That wouldn't have happened if...

And that's also not the case (if you take a look at the included manual):

Eigentlich muß ich Dir ja dankbar sein, da dann andere potentielle Kunden sich ein eigenes Bild machen können von 3-2-1-Meins-Support gibts keins-Isses kaputt-wars net gut-Isses Schrott-kommts in den Abfallpott...

It's unfortunate that the support team gets stuck here, and I can't allow that to happen. After all, shop.dieselschrauber.de customers paid for that level of service.

Best regards, Rainer.
