That's what I want to hear - excellent

Glad you like it Cap - Cheers from Canada!

I realized that it won't be the permanent fix; however, there's no such thing as a permanent fix.

ah - that's one way of putting it

Thanks! 👍 Cheers from Canada!

Wow my car is having the exact same issue! And every mechanic says the pump is about to go! Why cant everyone be like you honest!

At first, I mistook i2800 as 280 and thought it was a little bit expensive. Then, the manager told me it was $2800. F**K OFF!!

Glad it helped Ermias

Great! let me know how i works out

Look !!! I succeeded in repair of secondary air pump My blog : blogs.yahoo.co.jp/ken_wu/35154579.html

Anytime Andy - I hear ya - cheers from Canada!

Sounds like 2 problems - get codes - also disconnect power to blower if you suspect its the source of the noise Bob - let me know what you find - Cheers from Canada!

Sorry to hear all the trouble John - their story about the cause sounds suspicious to me - but you"ll know for sure within a year or so - if they found the cause they should issue a TSB on it.

@@carquestions That was what was listed on the repair order on what they replaced. I believe that was what fixed the problem, since it has been three years since that repair and the secondary air pump has not failed since. What ticks me off is they never bothered to look for what was causing the secondary air pump to fail prematurely when I had to replace it annually, not until my CPO warranty had expired.

Hello CQ! very fishy... I’ll bet that they’re hoping he sells/trade up the car by then🤦🏽‍♀️ SMH 🙇🏾‍♀️ This is why we’re all searching for answers here, because they’re constantly Overcharging for working on Mercedes Bz due to failure of inferiority of original parts from factory on MB that have under 150k mi ☹️ Ridiculous!! I had a 04 es330 /348k, I never had any issues!! I gave to my G’daughter 🤦🏽‍♀️ Now I have this MBz sitting w no power to the fuse or air pump, it’s unresponsive, No Codes!! Geez🙇🏾‍♀️ I’m going back to LEXUS and I’ll enjoy the ride with a piece of mind😴

Kurt - thanks and let me know how it works out please

It's on my list of many projects but I will try to remember to also post the part number on the brushes if I am able to find them and send you some pictures or video of the replacement process, I'm speaking from pure ignorance at this point because I have not yet seen the motor first hand to see if it can be done.

Good idea Jason - car runs fine without it

This dummy should have replaced the bearing(s) then it would last. This guy's middle name is BandAid... LOL

RE/MAX Northwest and shwndh any human that criticizes another human for making a video helping out others at no cost should really question their purpose not only here but in this planet as it says a lot about the way your mind operates and the frustration of unfulfilled goals. unaddressed psychological issues have a language of their own and you guys are speaking it loud and clear. possibly a lack of unity of parents and family, not enough attention by loved ones between the ages 5-13, only child busy parents or more than one child and being the second favorite or not a favorite at all. and many other issues that can be individually addressed. Point being you wont you get the proper sleep (rest) at night until you realize the world does not owe you anything but you do owe it to yourself the chance to live a fulfilled Human Life, one that carries positive thoughts and words of affirmation as what you say to others is simply an echo of unconscious thoughts about yourself. You nor this planet will ever benefit from negative reinforcement. "Help me Help you"

Even if you replace the part new, it will still make the same noise 5-6 months later. It's just a flawed bad quality part from Bosch that wont be fixed since dealers make a killing off it ($1127)

@@Mikgwerd pretty much all V6 and V8 Mercedes engines have this pump. and most of them don't break down every 5-6 month. so you should look into why your pump breaks down after 5-6 month.

@@davidjacobs8558 ok then. Tell everyone who commented on this video about their SAP the same thing, that they must all be overlooking something.

Get the one with the best reviews Chris - Cheers from Canada!

Glad it helped and thanks for the tip Hurex - Cheers from Canada!

Did you get and error code before the fix?

Glad you enjoyed it! John

Same price hear in Canada - Well done AA - Cheers!

Give the cheap one a try - the original one was no good why try them again?

When a part costs $700 and you can find it on eBay for under $100 I'd be a bit suspicious of quality however the pump is little more than a DC version of a two stage shop vac blower and you can buy an entire shop vac for under $100 so who knows. My policy on eBay is always "buyer beware" but there are good products on there at greatly reduced prices from OEM. The disassembly process didn't look that time consuming or complicated and even at $100 the two hours it probably took to disassemble and reassemble it would equate to $50 per hour, I used to make that kind of money and even then I favored DIY wherever possible and put the money in the bank, I guess that's why I retired at 53 with all my toys and it's play time. The only step I'm going to try to add to this process is attempting to locate and replace the brushes because the black dust he blew out of the unit was brush material so I'm not sure how long his customer's pump will remain quiet if the brushes are worn below spec., in any event awesome video.

Leave it and get more use out of it untill fails -Cheers from Canada!

My sister had that bad sensor in her w203 230. Replaced & sounds normal again/fan only comes on when it should

Thanks Brian! Cheers!

Good tip B Robb - cheers!

Part number?

Good luck Wayne - remember it only comes on once in the morning when cold - after first start, it won't work again until it is completely cooled down

Yes I know that I've been monitoring it in the mornings, some times its louder than other days..

I've done mine last week and it run likes a dream, thank you for your video.

usually won't come on again during the day - just the first thing after a long period

Thanks Jo - Cheers from Canada!

I'm better looking - cheers!

Anytime - cheers!

Love that - Cheers from Canada!

Good tip - cheers!

I’m having the same issue with my C350 (p0410) did you experience loss of power when you hit the gas? Does your shakes a little cold start? Also do you hear any funny grind when you hit the pedal?

@@PlaywithDaisy my Catalytic was clogged and I had to change my mass air flow sensor

Anytime Drax - Cheers from Canada!

Yes - very good idea

Do you know the location of the relay I’ve been searching for a while can’t find g

The secondary air pump has nothing whatsoever to do with the steering or suspension - It's an emission device only - sorry

Need codes to know more Tony - Sec air pump only comes on when engine is dead cold - hard to say - would just be guessing without codes

@@carquestions no codes at all ... I had to jump my BMW 3 weeks ago because it was 18 outside and I didn't use it for 9 days or so. So now after driving 400 miles plus I can't get the secondary to get ready so I can pass the emissions test

I am getting p0810 and p0814, same thing secondary pump not ready. I replaced the fuse, relay and pump is working. But this code shows up with not ready :(

It's the secondary air pump causing the problem - to test your theory just disconnect it and see what it does

Yes 90% of the time

Thanks Jerome

You can drive as long as you like - shouldn't affect the running of the car at all - lots of messages maybe but just disregard until you can fix it - wouldn't let it ruin a trip

nice thank you for the quick answer :) have a good day sir

Some of the motors are very prone to setting off the light before being noisy I'm afraid

if you can do this overhaul yourself..koodos, but a mechanic's labour would be too expensive. would be cheaper to buy a new one online and replace it . Mine failed 9 years after new car purchase, bought a Bosch online $287cad had my mechanic install it. Three years later it has now failed again, purchased same Bosch online awaiting arrival.(dealership quoted me $1700.00 installed)

It may be detecting too much current consumption from the secondary pump. Even though it may sound good, maybe the current consumption is too high due to friction. Try to repair it with some grease like in the video. That may do the trick.

Thanks SO - Cheers from Canada!

Would this part make the engine to switch off while it starts. Thanks

Any light oil you have kicking around - its just used to diagnose it - the joint was replaced a day later

@@carquestions what does it mean the joint was replaced a day later? So the light oil was just temporary?

just motor oil

Yep - your car is 99.9% mercedes so get the mercedes pump -

Yes it was the same code I had - change the pump JC

Mark, I replaced with a new pump. It runs quite now. And I cleared the code. But after couple cold morning start, the Engine light come back on with the same code P0410. What you think I should check next?

They sometimes do that - disconnect battery for 20 minutes then try again otherwise try another replacement

Is your check engine light on still?

Don't you have tondrive for a certain amount of miles for it too clear?

LETS PLAY I did but nothing.

@@WaveProject my check engine light is still on too and i need it to clear so i can pass smog they said it could be not enough volts and could be due to some technical wire issue not sure if its ground or not but im going to get it fixed for $50 I'll update this once i get it done and find out what it is👍

Doesn't look like this KNOW-IT-ALL Replies to questions...

Yes you can drive it. You will have CEL that'll stay on until you replace it however.

It is strictly an emission device designed to blow / purge air in exhaust to help warm cats quicker -

You can try CW but finding a T30 shouldn't be that hard

Anytime - Cheers from Canada!

Sounds like you have parts replacers instead of a real mechanic - you are not paying them to guess or "try" and fix it otherwise you should "try" to pay them if you get what I mean - Sounds like you need a new mechanic Amy - good luck and Cheers from Canada!

Sounds like your guys arnt really replacing the pump with a new one. Clean and shine up the old unit and back in it goes! Theres not much to wonder about the seconday air injection pump. Just a electric motor that runs off 12 volts. Super easy to test with just 2 wires to a battery. If it fires up then your pump is good with no reason to burn up. Unless: but it does run off a relay in the fuse box. When you start your car the air pump should stay on for only about 20-30 seconds then shut off. The relays are known to go bad now and then and thats where the air pump stays on and wont shut off and the air pumps burn out and fry. Thats possibly what your smelling. Id bet your guys didnt replace the relay which is only about $15 bux. Relay is 10 second job like a fuse....just pop the old out and plug in the new one. Hard time believing your guys have put in 3 pumps that run on a 12 volt system and they all burn out. 🙄 😒 😬

Good advice John - Cheers!@@johnhall4427

Anytime Alex

Just buy from FCPeuro, they have lifetime warranty...and you'll need it because this is one of the shittiest quality parts that Bosch makes.

Yes it should

I'm looking into that now - video coming out shortly

@@carquestions because in less than a 2 year i have to replace it again, the first time that I replace it, I use Borsh, now i brought an after market.

they run for 30 seconds on cold start ups - thats it

@@carquestions thank you for your reply. Meanwhile i had disconected the electric plug from these air pump and the engine seems to work the same way. Is it damaging something? Thanks.

Nope - will not affect driveability or longevity @@joseluisalmeida7492

Thanks Jaden - Cheers from Canada!

Change the pump - here's why - I changed one out a noisy one and a week later the code came back but the second SAP wasn't making noises like the original one - put in the third one and it has been fine ever since

Rod - When I said jet engine I mean - it's a very high pitched screech / squeal - so I think you definitely need an air pump replaced.

Leave it then and disregard the warning - nothing will happen

carquestions i got the warning off then it came right back on. so i went on head and ordered both parts so hopefully the check engine light will go off

If the pump runs at all - the relay must be working so no need to change it - if the pump doesn't run then yes change the relay

Just keep it for now - keep cleaning it

Got you 4:03

Glad to help

Thanks for response chief, today i went to one if the mechanic and he told me that my car have air leak from the throttle manifold and the air are not passing to the exhaust system, can you advise?

maybe this? kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bpamoNqczta0kZ8.html

If the noise only comes on for a minute and only when engine is cold then yes it most likely is the problem DJ - look for a similar looking electric motor under the hood

DJC

Don't bother - doesn't need it

Angel Soliz yes it has it

Good idea - but will generate a code - thats ok

Sadly I'd say change the whole valve body - this vehicle is well known for that issue and that is typically the fix - and always cheaper to fix than replace something. - Cheers from Canada!

@@carquestions thank you! For your answer! So sad to hear you say that i need a new Valve Body i just dont understand if the codes dont pop up when first starting the vehicles why does the transmission operate so smooth? I have a feeing its something with the electricity but you might be right and im just being overly-optimistic cheers from The Bronx, NY

For that price, i believe you will only get the electric kit, which is the upper part of the bodyvalve. But it is the electric kit that usually faulty.

No Adam not urgent normally - it feeds air into the exhaust for cleaner combustion on cold start ups

@@carquestions thanks. Great vid btw. I’ve noticed my air pump stays running at all times is this another symptom of failure? Also could it be related to the random misfire like feeling I’m getting from the engine? I don’t have any codes but I do notice occasional stutters that feel like misfire and when I watch the engine with the cover off it seems like it is hesitating quickly at times. Creates a minor vibration in cabin.

@@Dnasty1 secondary air pump is not to run constantly - only a few seconds on a cold start - if it is a misfire you'll get a code - if not it is something else not a misfire

It shouldn't - something else going on

Sounds like the same problem Vanide - Cheers from Canada!

It's way easier on some models - depends on your engine, year and model

It will fail Emissions Test. No damage will occur to your Engine.

Not as severe as the bad effect of shouting lol

Thanks for watching Aydiah - Cheers from Canada!

It only comes on for 90 seconds or so on cold starts only

Let the problem develop further - it's the SAP most likely

carquestions Thanks for the reply. I've had this p0140 code for four years - if something was going to break on it, shouldn't it have broke by now?

How many miles on it Fix? - could be a lazy 02 hard to say at this point

Mercedes w203 V6 2.5 L 140k miles,but this codes come again after every 30 miles. when engine is cold,car runs fine,codes come when engine tempreture 60 and up ! CEL come when car idle
