Default AUDI A4 Quattro 3.0 v6 OBD2 auto scanner codes

Hi,

My AUDI A4 Quattro 3.0 v6 has a check engine light. I connected an OBD2 Auto scanner to it, and got 2 codes:
1. P0441- Evap emissions

2. P0421- Warm up catalyst below thresh-hold (Bank 1)

What do theses codes mean? And, how do I get the car fixed without running high costs?

All help is highly appreciated.

-D.

Take a look here for some potential solutions... and then find a good independent Audi mechanic in your area. If you tell us where you are, someone may be able to recommend one.

Thanks, that is the closest I have got to a solution. By the way, I am in the Syracuse, NY area, as I go to school in Syracuse Univ. Can anyone recommend good technicians (shops) around here, or in the West Orange, NJ area?
