Porsche Secondary Air Injection Pump Check Valve (Cayenne) - Genuine Porsche 95511310121

Product Information

The secondary air injection pump check valve helps reduce emissions by injecting extra air into the exhaust stream during cold starts. This additional air aids in burning any unburned fuel and reduces harmful emissions, particularly carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons, before the catalytic converter reaches operating temperature. The check valve is responsible for directing air into the exhaust and preventing exhaust gases from flowing back into the air injection pump.

• Check Engine Light: A common sign of a faulty check valve is the check engine light illuminating. The ECU will detect issues with the air injection system and log related error codes, such as P0410 or P0411
• Poor Engine Performance: When the check valve fails, you may experience rough idling, hesitation, or reduced acceleration, as the secondary air injection system plays a role in optimizing cold starts and early engine efficiency
• Increased Emissions: A failed check valve can lead to a rise in emissions due to unburned fuel in the exhaust. This issue might only be noticeable during an emissions test, but if left unresolved, it can impact the catalytic converter over time.

About Genuine Porsche

You may not realize this, but the parts that make up your Porsche are not necessarily manufactured by Porsche. No cause for concern, as Porsche designs the part, hires a manufacturer, and ensures its quality to you. In fact, many of these manufacturers have been making parts for Porsche for decades. In our industry these manufacturers are called OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers), and these are often brands you recognize, including Lemforder, ZF, Sachs, Bosch, Valeo, Zimmermann, Siemens VDO, Corteco, and more. Don’t be surprised to open that Genuine Porsche parts box and find an OEM branded part inside, simply with the addition of a Porsche logo.
