I went to autozone today and had them check my codes for my CEL.
it came back with P0411 and P1424.
i'm pretty sure the
P1424: Secondary Air injection bank 1 leak detected.
is due to the
P0411: Secondary Air injection system incorrect flow.
Explanation
BBFaulty Air combination valve
Probable Cause
BB1 - Faulty Air solenoid valve
BB2 - Faulty Air pump motor
so i've been looking on vwvortex, and well as this site, found lots of stuff about the P0411 code, but when i went to check what i could, the only air noise at all in my engine was coming from the passenger side, towards the firewall/back of engine bay.
all of the hoses, that i could see, looked newish, and none of them were crumbling.
but i'm not even sure if i looked at the right hoses or not.
i had stated in another thread, about when i cold start my nB, i hear what sounds basically like a vacuum cleaner, but only for about 30 seconds give or take.
not sure if this is possibly connected with that or not.
the main concern i have is passing my state inspection, as i've read all this system does is lower emissions.
but i would still love to have my CEL go off, and stay off.
any help or insight would be appreciated.
thanks,
topher
