Emission Control System lit up?
Discussion
Hey Guys,
I've recently had the Emission Control System light on my dashboard turn on and stay lit in my Audi A4 Cabriolet (2004, V6).
I've read the fault codes but am not that knowledgable so was hoping you guys knew what I'd have to expect if I were to bring it down to a mechanic as I'd like to have a clue rather than just letting them charge me as they please.
Please find the fault codes listed below with a link to Ross-tech:
17645/P1237 - Fuel Injector for Cylinder 1 (N30): Open Circuit
http://wiki.ross-tech.com/wiki/index.php/17645/P12...
16825/P0441/001089 - EVAP Emission Control Sys: Incorrect Flow
http://wiki.ross-tech.com/wiki/index.php/16825/P04...
18010/P1602/005634- Power Supply B+ Terminal 30: Voltage too Low
http://wiki.ross-tech.com/wiki/index.php/18010/P16...
This fault was also read under ABS but not related to Emission control system I believe:
01826 - Sensor for Steering Angle (G85); Supply Voltage Terminal 30

I'd really appreciate it if you guys could let me know what all this means, especially how much you think it may set me back?
Thanks guys, truly very much appreciated.

Here's another helpful answer I got so make sure you have a look at the battery:
"To start with I would concentrate on 01826 and 18010 as they are possibly the problem here. If the battery voltage drops too low then these codes are triggered. So best check the state of your battery as on a cold morning a huge current is taken by the starter motor and this may leave insufficient to power the other systems such as the ABS steering angle sensor.
A proper test should be done to see if the battery is good and then if it is the alternator output should be checked both off load and under load. Once you know these are all good, then clear the codes, drive the car and check again and see what comes back." -Hometune
