Default P0431 code.

Hello Audi's family,

Can anyone tell me what on earth is this code means, P0431?

Few guys told me that it was a vacuum leak on the kombi valve located in the back, A faulty EGR valve on bank 2 that creates insufficient air inside the engine, bad catalytic converter on bank 2.

So what is it really? Since most of you guys are pro and mechanically incline thus to say this is what?
Do I need to take my ride to an audi dealer for further diagnostic or it just a simple issue?

Thank you and stay safe,

gilbert
