Default Check engine: Secondary Air injection

My check engine light went on so I stopped by AutoZone for a free diagnosis. The error message was 'P0411: Secondary air injection- incorrect flow'.

Does anyone here have experience with this and know what the problem for the check engine light is? Also, I'm assuming that I can still drive the car until I get this fixed, right?

Default It may be a fluke...>>

And never come back. Sometimes this code just happens but I would check the Vac line (the braided one) between the combi valve and the manifold. High failure rate on that hose, simple fix.

Is that pump unusually noisy? (they come apart too, but can be fixed)

Default Yeah - your pump is leaking. You can rebuilt it yourself by drilling out the rivets

using a good gasket/sealant and then reassembling with bolts/screws. Very common problem. Mine was covered under CPO.

Default Couple of things you should do..>

On a car as old as yours.

1st would be to replace the 2 Vac lines to the Combi Valve and FPR. They are the only Braid covered lines at the front of the engine. the rubber deterirates under the braid and is a chronic source of leaks. 4mm silicone will fix you right up there.

If your pump is noisy it may be coming apart. easy to fix..

See Andrew's post below or do a search. Several have saved this $200+ part by replacing the failed rivets..<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/tt/msgs/1574799.phtml">https://forums.audiworld.com/tt/msgs/1574799.phtml</a</li></ul>

Default Same problem here - first pump was warranty :-(

At least that's the last to remain from the "codefest" I had a month ago.

This one's just annoying.
