1. Air Pump Relay

Valid for Models: 164.186, 170.465/466, 171.454/456, 199.376, 203.052/054/056/061/064/065/076/ 081/084/087/092/261/264/281/284/764, 209.356/365/372/375/376/456/465/472/475/476, 211.056/065/070/072/076/082/9083/087/090/256/265/276/282/283/287, 215.373/374/375/376/379, 216.371, 219.372, 220.067/170/173/174/175/176/ 179/183/184, 221.171/186, 230.471/472/474/475/ 476/477/479, 251.156/165

This condition may be caused by a malfunctioning air pump relay. When the secondary air pump relay malfunctions, the air pump may be actuated beyond the maximum permissible operating time. This overload may lead to failure of the secondary air injection pump and result in a malfunction in the secondary air injection system. Proceed as follows:

Note: If diagnosis reveals a malfunctioning air injection pump, refer to step 1.2.
fig. 1
1.1. Test the secondary air injection function chain with SDS.

1.2. If the secondary air pump is determined to be defective, remove/replace the secondary air pump and air pump relay (refer to WIS document: AR14.30-P-7251QB).

1.3. If it’s determined that only the relay is defective, replace only the relay and retest the secondary air injection function chain with SDS.

1.4. Program the engine control module.

2. Check Valve for Vacuum Actuation of Air Pump

Valid for Models: 163.154/157/172/174/175, 164.175/186, 171.454/456/473, 199.376, 203.040/052/ 054/056/0361/064/065/076/081/084/ 087/096/261/264/281/284/740/764, 209.076/356/365/375/376/456/465/475/ 476, 211.056/065/070/076/082/083/087/ 256/265/276/282/283/287, 215.373/374/ 375, 219.375/376, 220.067/170/173/174/ 175/183/184, 230.472/474/475, 463.246/ 249/271

VW/Audi PCV Service

The PCV valve regulates the flow of gases from the crankcase.

Positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) systems have been on just about every vehicle since the late 1960s. The systems route crankcase vapors and droplets into the intake manifold so they are burned in the combustion chamber or catalytic converter. 

The PCV valve uses the vacuum from the intake manifold to regulate the flow of gases from the crankcase. The pintle or ball inside the valve moves in response to the pressure difference between the crankcase and the intake manifold. The valve is typically located between the throttle body and cylinder head on a runner for the intake manifold.
