Hello, my name is \*\*\*\*\* \*\*\*\*\* I will be helping you with your question today. I've been working on Audis for over 30 years now, so I should be able to help you through this. Please understand that some of my suggestions may require special diagnostic tools and equipment that many home mechanics may not have, but are often required. So, my first question is whether you're planning on performing your own repairs, or are you wanting to be armed with information before bringing it into your mechanic?
**Also, the site automatically prompts for a phone call. It's very rare that I'm available by phone, so let's hold off on that for now. If needed after we exchange some information, I will do my best to take the time for the call.**
Couple of other questions:
- any recent work requiring supercharger or intake manifold removal?
- how many miles are on it?

No I did a transmission flush about 1 month ago, hoping it would help with sluggishness, but EPC error codes keep coming up. 90,000 approximately. Here is photo of errors

Ok, got all of that. You're going to have to replace the bypass valve at the rear of the supercharger. Somewhat common issue. I can look up a part number if you can throw me a VIN

About a ten minute job at the rear of the supercharger.

Nope, just the part. Shop labor shouldn't be more than a half hour.

What about the motor mount?
AudiDoc

Mounts should be replaced in pairs.
They're $378 each
Labor is 3.5 hours

Labor per hour

Depends on the shop really. Usually an Audi specialist is going to be anywhere from $110-$200/hr depending on your location, but you can reach out to them directly to find out. Also, the labor times are just what we call flat rate times, and shops are free to charge whatever time they deem necessary to do the job. I'm just offering information on what the job \*should\* cost.

Ok, no problem.
Still not sure what you need?
Have a certified mobile mechanic diagnose what's wrong with your car, at your home or office.

I have 2011 Audi S4, the EPC light has been coming on intermittently giving error codes P10A4, P10A7, P10A8...also have 1 bad motor mount on right front passenger side. Mechanic's Assistant: Just to clarify, what are the exact lights you're talking about? EPC engine power control Mechanic's Assistant: Are you fixing your Audi S4 yourself? What have you tried so far? Just cleared the codes, as they do not always appear Mechanic's Assistant: Anything else you want the Mechanic to know before I connect you? The car runs sluggish, due to EPC and the intake flap not regulating. I had the transmission checked and there is nothing wrong there, found the motor mount was also bad.
