Thanks guys, this is a great video. You did a really good job covering all the details and pointing out all the components was very helpful for identifying my a bad combi valve.

Man what a great public service!! Thanks! You are one hell of a mechanic.... I have an '02 Passat 1.8t which is throwing codes PO442 and PO411. Are they related? Cant get inspected. You make it look easy, but this is one of the most difficult cars to work on that I have encountered. Thanks for your efforts and time.....

Good video - thanks!!! Pump is difficult to take out, but kept working with it as you suggested and finally was able to remove it. Took the bolts and rubber grommets off the pump prior to removing in order to get it out. Also did not put bolts on new pump until had put it on.

Lithuanian? I have a friend who has the exact same accent...nice. Have the 16795 code and will check the system soon. Diagnostic says the fault is intermittent and points to the pump I believe. Car runs well enough though, even when cold. Thanks for the info. Well done.

best DIY on this diagnosis and repair. done the whole thing myself and it runs perfectly. btw. I've got the BEX variant of this engine on my a4 b6 and the pump is more to the center of the bumper, its rotated and bolts are more obcured. other than that the repair process is the same. audi moved it because of the second IC this engine variant has got.

Hey, great video! I have a question about the EGR/combi valve. I have a 2004 a4 b6 1.8t. I removed the combi valve and the adapter (the bracket it attaches to), and I noticed the engine block doesn't have a hole in it where the adapter attaches to. Is this common? Will it hurt the car and will everything function normally like this? The car seems to run good, but has a secondary air injection code. Eveything but the egr passed the tests. Thanks again!

Thank you for this video. I have 01.5 B5 Audi A4 1.8T with the dreaded P0411 SAI code. This code is a nightmare and I never properly diagnosed ever because I am not professional mechanic, just a hobbyist. My situation is that the SAI pump turns on but I still get the code.

@acm6316 4 жыл бұрын

The car jerks when driving constant speed at highway. Gives the fault code P0411 but can it cause this? Or is it possible that MAF sensor is faulty but does not give the fault code? I just unplugged the sensor and car still turned on like no effect at all. Didn't drive it, though.

@chevecrazy454ss 8 жыл бұрын

I have a question if you have a slight leak from the exhaust manifold to the turbo housing on one of the three bolts that bolts the turbo to the exhaust msnifold do you think this is enough to trigger this code the p0411? I did a head gasket.and in the process of taking it apart one of the bolts broke inside the turbo housing and.I had to drill and retap it and I think I might have to redo it because it has a slight leak I can only see it on a cold start while the sec air pump is on because of the morning condensation then once the pump is off its off it stops like bubbling the moisture from the condensation I do not get any other codes and I have checked.everything else and its driving me.nuts any recommendations would help thanks

@chevecrazy454ss 8 жыл бұрын

by the way the evap purge valve solenoid is constantly clicking and has like ,10-11 volts constantly and was not working and had a rotted check valve right after the evap pump bu the air filter and I changed out the check valve and its installed the correct way and I got the purge valve solenoid to work by twisting the screw inside it when before it was always.closed and not working so im like confused to as why I never got any codes before but now I do

@ericaviator8869 7 жыл бұрын

Excellent diagnostic. BUT ... would think the reason the 40 amp fuse is blown would be good to know as well ??... there must be another issue to cause the fuse to be blown ?! Maybe pump is worn badly and near failure causing heat build-up , or ...??? Again, good diagnostic though ...

@Helldron01 9 жыл бұрын

Ok quick question i pulled off a hose going to the air injection pump and water poured out...now what all should i look at to replace? I know more than likely the pump is bad but I don't have the program you were showing to test everything so i don't know what else is.

@EDGEMOTORS 9 жыл бұрын

most likely your combi valve is stock open. thats the shiny thing behind the motor... take it of and see if it is in closed state and apply vac to it and see if it opens...

Hi I have a 2003 Audi A4 1.8t 190 that has a P0411 code. A garage has quoted me £500 to replace the secondary air pump. I just want to make sure that this is the problem as I have erased the error code using a maxiscan scan tool and it takes around 2 weeks for the error code to come back again. I just wanted to check if it was defiantly the pump, or would the code come up as soon as I start the car after erasing?

@EDGEMOTORS 9 жыл бұрын

all this code means, that the secondary air injection does not provide enough air flow. there could be allot of causes to that, including the air pump that the shop is telling you to replace. however does not automatically mean that the pump is bad like allot of shops suggest from just a computer scan. so i cant tell you from the code if the air pump is the issue, or the only issue... there have to be some diagnostics done before determine if the pump is the issue. if you watch the video, i explain how to check most of the systems parts

Great video!! My situation: Audi A4 1,6 2002 motorcode: ALZ. Got a dianose made earlier with a P1423 error - so my Secondary air pump is not running on cold start (2 degrees celcius outside now). I took the secondary air motor out and it was full with water. I don't have a VCDS diagnose tool, so I checked the fuse, not blown. Checked relay (373) saw video how to check it with wires onto the battery, it clicks. Haven't check selonoid, don't know how to. So I checked if power was delivered to pump cable with multimeter, doesn't seem to be any power comming through to the pump... Can't see any visual damage to the cable wrapping when following the cables... Do you have any ideas?

@EDGEMOTORS 8 жыл бұрын

+Jens Jacob Storgaard Jensen theck the pump it self if it works by applying power to it directly... but if you had water in it, the combi valve behind the cylinder head is not closing, so you have to replace that .

You will have a check engine light on, secondary air injection is for emissions only. It does not affect how engine runs, only supplies extra air to cold catalytic to warm it up so it could burn in burned fuel more efficiently.
