Hi All,

This thread is a repayment to help others with this issue. When I scanned the car this is the error it found:

16795 P0411 Secondary Air Injection System: Incorrect Flow Detected.

After some searching on here I found a couple of threads, mainly THIS one, and so I wanted to pass on how I fixed this. I found it easier to remove the MAF connector, remove the air intake from the airbox, and remove the coolant connector for access.

Firstly, from the thread above I knew where to look:

^^ Borrowed from other thread.

Subsequently I found this (pictures were taken by dropping phone into the engine bay, in effect the windscreen is BEHIND the camera).

So now I knew the problem, how to fix?

I had some 3mm ID hosing left over from the N249 bypass, so firstly I pulled off the old bit of pipe and replaced, securing with a cable tie.

The other end of the original hose runs to a 'T' piece, under the main pipe on the engine bay, its a bit fiddly as its one of those stupid clips. Careful here as the 'T' piece may be brittle.

I then ran my 3mm hosing to the T piece, cut to length and attached it.

Below is a pic of the old hose, or part of it.

While I was here, I decided to replace the SHORT length of hose too, as it didn't look in a good way. This hose comes of the vertical connection of the T (as oppose tot he horizontal connection we just placed our new 3mm hose to).

This was the state of the 'short' hose:

You can see in the centre of this picture (just above the heat protection) where the new 'short' black hosing fits.

Hope this helps someone...

I replaced mine a while back, had eml light on, scanned it and had exactly the same code pop up, initial thoughts was the secondary air pump but ended up being that same hose, completely split.
Brilliant post mate, wish it was posted a few months back.
