Catalytic Converter Problem

[Owlbird]

My 2015 Passat TDI SE needs a Cat. Check engine light on and inspection due. The Cat is on national back order could be months I am told. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Replaced the DPF about a year ago.

Soo on the 2015 the "Cat" or oxidizing catalytic converter, is part of the DPF. Its one unit.

What are the codes that are being flagged?

I have a nice 2004 Golf I'll sell you, and I will give you the lifetime guarantee it will never, ever, need a DPF or catalyst replaced.

Great back up car for a CR TDI owner!

Good way to keep mice out of the attic.
