SAI Pump
« on: 14 December 2011, 23:59 »
Mine has died, no longer makes any noise  :sad:

Any issues with leaving it or do I need to replace it.

If you leave it on dead will you not get the same cel light for improper flow as you get when you remove it?

I have no issues with mine removed so I cant see why having a non working one would cause any problems, except as said maybe a fault code. Major pain the the arse trying to remove it with the engine in, I'd just stick a resistor in the circuit and keep the couple hundred grams of junk in my bay  :grin:

Secondary air pump, runs for 30secs when cold, mine was really noisy but is dead now.

I have been thinking of removing mine but it looks a complete ballache so I will leave as is for now.
