Default secondary air fault in system, am radio resolved, + recalls.

Had my 2010 S4 to get the recalls done today, no idea why original owner never did it.

1. Thermostat.
2. Replace seal for left/right inner tail light (not sure what that really is all about)

Plus asked about the AM radio not working, found antanna broken or something, will replace when they get parts in (said ordered booster). They did a temp fix, at least I get 680 news now.

As part of the "health check" they found a secondary air fault in system. To resolve this they need to remove the engine and clean some exhaust type value of something. May happen again in 100K they said. Anyone hear of this before?

Thanks

Yep, 3.0 and 3.2 secondary air ports are clogging in the cyl. Head.
Have to remove engine to clean them out
