Product Information
The secondary air pump, or smog pump, is a key component of your Volkswagen emissions system and Is responsible for injecting air into the exhaust system at startup in an effort to heat up the catalytic converter helping it to reach optimal operating temperature and reducing harmful emissions. The pump can wear over time typically due to the motor within the unit becoming inoperative and failing to work which causes a check engine light.
A Secondary Air Injection Pump is part of a vehicle’s emissions control system. Its main purpose is to inject fresh air into the exhaust stream during cold starts. This extra oxygen helps the catalytic converter heat up faster and burn off excess fuel, reducing harmful emissions before the engine reaches operating temperature. The pump is usually electric or belt-driven and works only for a short time after startup.
Secondary Air Injection Pump Failure Symptoms- Check Engine Light (CEL) illuminated, often with fault codes (such as P0410, P0411, or related to “secondary air system”).
- Rough idle or hesitation on cold starts due to improper air-fuel mixture before the catalytic converter stabilizes.
- Failed emissions test or increased exhaust smell, as the system cannot reduce pollutants effectively during startup.

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 VW parts box and find an OEM branded part inside, simply with the addition of a VW logo.
