Audi A3 Quattro Air Pump Parts
The Air Pump or "Smog Pump" is part of the car's emissions system. This unit will pump air into the exhaust system to help the catalytic converter burn excess emissions during a cold start, thus improving emissions output. An indication that the air pump is not working is engine codes as well as a backfire.

The second generation A3 Quattro models come standard with a VR6 engine along with the on demand Haldex traction based system. The second generation of the Audi A3 was designed by Gary Telaak and was showcased at the Geneva Motor Show in 2003.
