secondary

Having searched the forum, i can find several references to a secondary air injector but none to a secondary air pump, are they the same thing? i keep getting a engine managment light coming on, and a diagnostic check came up with the secondary air pump, the car still ran fine. the pump...

ive been looking at the blanking plugs for this and i was wondering if its worth removing it? also is there a guide etc for this on a cupra 180. thanks

I changed my cambelt and water pump on my lcr at the weekend. Had a rite nightmare. Started it up after doing job and got a misfire. Almost shat myself thinking i had bent valves but turned out to be a dodgy coil pack so i replaced all 4 and all was well. Then i noticed that the secondary water...

All is good fuse wise but the original 9 year pump is cutting out and not always working. How important is this pump during driving? . I know it's purpose after stalling the engine . But my mechanic reckons it's important while driving too. What to do? Repair? Replace? Any truth in it's...

ive had my car plugged in on a code reader and its came up with a code saying secondary air, valve or selnoid.. just wounderd if you guy could help me out as i havnt got a clue what part this is thanks

Can someone please tell me if the secondary water pump is meant to run every time you switch the engine off?

Hi, have been getting a fault light up on the dash. Andy at Awesome checked it on the VAGCOM for me the other day, and it appears my Secondary Air Pump is on its way out. Got a few questions: 1) Does anyone know where I could get a new one at a good price? 2) Is this a part I could...

anyone got a pic of where tihs is ment to be as mine is ziptied to the top of the rad :|

Ok so like many people I started off getting the incorrect flow code, bringing up the EML light, car also feels slightly less impressive when the codes noticed aswell, still has the power but its hard to explain. It’s like it holds back slightly Anyway, my problems started when my...

can anyone tell me what a secondary air systym blanking plate is

hey, i understand about the 2ndary water pump and what its purpuse is and iv know what "that noise" is since i got it, but recently it hasnt been making that noise its been making what i can only describe as a DJ mixing on his decks, any info, location, common faults, fixes? thanks

For ages now, I get a noise that starts up and then seems to go after a short time. I always thought it was the rad fan, but I checked and they werent moving when it was making the noise. Reading on here, I think it may be the secondary water pump. It's coming from the very front right...

hey guys, last night after driving back home i was letting my car cool down on idle then all of a sudden my secondary coolant pump started making a terrible noise i know they are a lil but noisy but this was rediculous almost sounded like something had broken down inside it?! is this common? and...

Folks, My secondary air pump is full of rusty water, and as dead as a dead thing that's been deaded a couple of times to make sure that it's dead. I've found various people who say that the likely cause of this is a faulty combi valve, letting exhaust fumes into the pump, which condense in...

Hello everyone, I drove to work this morning and got a light up on the dash, so had a look in my Scangauge to see what code was stored for the fault,it showed P1421 secondary air injection valve circuit short to ground is this code anything to worry about? And Im guessing maybe it would be a...

My secondary water pump is playing up. When I first had the car the pump would work even if you only turned the ignition on. Now it rarely works at all. I have replaced the old one with a reconditioned pump and it still only works when it wants too. For some reason it works every time on...

right my secondery water pump stoped working so i checked all the fuses and they where ok followed the quick fix guide on another thread and got it to work via a 12v battery but when i put it back in the car still nothing so i took the plug out of the pump and tested the plug with a volts meter...

Right, my secondary water pump has packed up. Not working at all. Before anyone bites my head off I have searched. Have checked the fan fuse on top of the battery and it looks fine. Also checked that the plug hasn't come loose on the pump itself. I'm going to try and strip it down and...
