For all my vacuum leak related work, I never reset the light. After a few days of driving, if you fixed the root cause, it will go away by itself. Of course, you can also just go to Autozone and they will read the code and reset it for free
By the way ...using this and some other YT vids I cleared my check engine light on my 2.5 Roadster 2001 - there were 8 fault codes. I learnt : do not use Chinese parts, German parts prices have crashed to being very cheap and it isn't that hard to do.
How could i get ready my Secondary air pump, all of my sensors are ready except this i drove it for 1 hr just the SAP doesnt get ready. Im going change the hose first i saw sign of wear. It has no codes .Thank you.

Tek görevi motor ve katalitik konvertör soğukken yanmamış karbonların havaya katılmasını azaltmak. Katalitik konvertör ısınıp görevini yapmaya başlayınca devreden çıkıyor.
Merhaba Erol bey. SAI’nin boşta olması araçta basınç kaçağına ve performans kaybına sebep verebilir mi? Audi 1.8T de gözlemlediğim. Pompa hortumları kayıp durumda EGR dışarı bakıyor ve EGR’nin diğer ucu selenoidlerden geçerek emme manifolduna bağlanıyor. Teşekkürler video için
Merhaba. Secondary Air Pump in bosta olmasi performansi etkilemez. Amaci, arac soguk sartlarda balsatildigi zaman, manifolda taze hava verip egzoz gazındaki carbon monoksidi (emisyon) azaltmaktir. Vakum bolumu sistemdeki nemi de alir, ve bunun katalitik konvertirin omrunun uzatildigi da soylenir. Yani -10 C nin altindaki startlarda 30 saniyelik bir emisyon gorevi var o kadar.

When I check mine, the air pump blows fine. However I never feel anything coming out of the exit hose when disconnected. The pump stops, and still feel nothing coming out of the hose. When I disconnect the vacuum line to the check valve and put a vacuum gage on it, it reads zero. Does this mean the check valve can still be good and maybe the vacuum check valve at the back of the engine is what is bad causing the air pump check valve not to work?
If you set up the test exactly the way I did it in this video you should A) in the first minute feel a very strong air flow coming out of the pump. This shows that the pump is working B) in the first minute, while the pump is pumping, when you put your finger on the detached side of the plastic hose, you should feel a faint suction or nothing. That shows you that the check valve is open. C) after about a minute, the air pump should stop. D) a few seconds after that, when you put your thumb on the hose that you disconnected, you should feel absolutely nothing. There should be no suction. . This shows you that your check valve has closed. Based on that, if I am understanding your description properly, i actually believe that your car is fine.
There is a filter under the cap of the secondary air pump, what is the Cerial Number or how the heck do I get another filter without buying another pump?
MLGxGIFT Surginer's take a look here. Hopefully you find what you are looking for. www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/showparts?id=AV33-USA---E46-BMW-325i&diagId=11_3515#11727571589
I am sorry that this video is two years ago, but I have a question, if it is damaging any of the two things that you show, what is the function of that, my car does not throw hot air into the cabin, and already change the thermostat, change Another piece that goes inside the air control cabin, and still not working, I don't get hot air, what could be the problem?
Can you please tell me where the pump valve hose travels to? The thin black hose on mine cracked but I can’t seem to find the other end of the hose and its destination
Hi. Check out this diagram. I think this is what you are asking www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/showparts?id=AW33-USA---E46-BMW-325i&diagId=11_2203#11611312737
Back of the intake manifold make sure to check a diagram of some sort there are a few different holes 2 connect to eachother theough the black and white selenoid and one needs plugged and one is the hole that you kees to route to from the air pump
question i did this... felt nothing from the hose side... air pump is hella blowing air. Now is it the valve if i feel nothing in the hose... no matter whats happening down the line towards the intake manifold area? Im tryin to remove P0491 and P0492 codes
Yeah, that is a pretty good sign that your secondary pump (the little shiny metal one) is not working. I would watch this first and then replace ua-cam.com/video/oymVvM7Wxbc/v-deo.html
so could you tell me what will happn if one of these ar both don't work very well? i mean what is the symptom of not working these components? advanced wishes
One con would be a check engine light... and increased emissions, as Erol mentioned when warming up, (cats take a lot longer to heat up). Can't really think of any "advantage" other than the big ugly pump not being there anymore!
What if the secondary air pump kicks on but doesn’t shut off like it’s supposed to? Mine is staying on permanently when the car is running and sounds like a vacuum cleaner.
That’s a problem. The most likely problem (and cheapest to fix) is to change the secondary air pump relay. I can’t recall where that relay is but that is where I would start. Also, if I were you, I would unplug the air pump for now so it does not run constantly and risk burning up. It is not designed to run long.
Ignacio Romero I suppose your are right. I mean exhaust from the pump’s point of view since it is blowing air out. But in the grand scheme of things you are right, it is an air input to the engine.
If you set up the test exactly the way I did it in this video you should A) in the first minute feel a very strong air flow coming out of the pump. This shows that the pump is working B) in the first minute, while the pump is pumping, when you put your finger on the detached side of the plastic hose, you should feel a faint suction or nothing.

D) a few seconds after that, when you put your thumb on the hose that you disconnected, you should feel absolutely nothing. There should be no suction. . This shows you that your check valve has closed. I believe you are asking about step B. Check valve would not be blowing anything. That is no reason for concern. See if you can feel a faint suction from it. That would be the normal behaviour
Hi. OBD reset is not only a factor of miles, it is also a factor of "cycles." Meaning, the car has to go through multiple cycles of cold starts. So, I would not be alarmed by this. Instead, I would continue to drive the car as usual for a few days under normal conditions.

Indeed. This is exactly one of the things we test in this video.

D) a few seconds after that, when you put your thumb on the hose that you disconnected, you should feel absolutely nothing. There should be no suction. .

It is part 11727553063. In the BMW literature it is referred to as "Air Pump Control Valve (EGR)" You are correct that while it does not recirculate the exhaust gas back to the cylinders which is what an EGR does, it is commonly known as an EGR valve in the M54 engines. For those following this for curiosity and learning, the way this valve works with the air pump is by supplying air into the exhaust system to reduce tailpipe emissions. The reason it runs only for a short time and during cold starts is because of the fuel rich mixture needed during the cold starts. A lot of fuel with limited air to facilitate cold starts means that high quantities of unburned hydrocarbons are produced. Since the catalytic converter is not warm enough to to its job at this point, this "secondary air" is injected into the exhaust to reduce pollution. This is said to also heat the catalytic converter faster although I am not sure as to why that is
It should be no more or less than the temperature of the engine bay. So I would say warm to the touch but definitely not hot like the engine since it has no moving parts (after the first minute of startup) not hot gases, oil, or coolant running to it.
