Both parts purchased from Audi.
I had my mechanic swap the switches out " not audi shop". The labor came to $250.

Haven't seen the epc code since and now I can enjoy driving my car like it should be driven.
Hope this helps

Default bottom of oil filter case

it is located bottom of oil filter case and back bottom of the super charger. there is a oil filter case diagram but didn't help much so I put a mirror to take a picture.
you need a small mirror to view from back of the super charger. The job itself was 2mins job and

a simple replacement.

This happened to me on my 18 Q5, would get the message limiting my rpm to 5K then 3K, was worried this was going to happen on the freeway. Always use Chevron premium fuel, but when the incidents happened I had been using premium unbranded fuel from a Casino. Someone here mentioned it could be a fuel issue, after I went back to Chevron the problem went away.

will these sensors keep the turbo from kicking in? This light just came on mine after doing an oil change and the turbo does not kick in anymore.
