May 1, 20196 yr Hi All, This morning I got a check engine light when I started my car. After looking into the fault I have a feeling that it is the secondary air pump. Has anyone has this issue before? If so should I try and find a replacement pump or should I go down the route or EGR/air pump delete? Any advise would be appreciated.
May 1, 20196 yr Delete it! It works only 30 seconds when the engine Is cold.Does nothing afterwards.Sent from...somewhere
May 2, 20196 yr Author Thank you for getting back to me. If I do get it removed will it still pass it's MOT? Also if I get it removed it will need a remap to get rid of the CEL. Can anyone recommend an Subaru specialists in the midlands that would do that for a good price? Any help would be appreciated.
May 2, 20196 yr Yes it will pass MOT, it just warming the catalitic converter faster at cold start up.I'm not from your country so I can't recommend someone, but anyone with ecuflash can delete the code for you.Sent from...somewhere
May 2, 20196 yr Author That's great then. I have found someone near me that can do it for a good price.
May 2, 20196 yr Go get rid of it, less weight more room in the engine bay, no more faulty codes.Sent from...somewhere
May 3, 20196 yr Author I have it booked in at a place near me to get it mapped out next week. It seems to be a lot cheaper to map out the air pump than get a replacement. Don't feel like paying £200+ for a used pump that could break again at some point.
May 18, 20196 yr You won't feel the difference cause it works only on cold start for 30 second than it's stop, and it does not change the driving that's why you don't get into limp mode when CE is on due to this part of section.Sent from...somewhere
