    I have a 2000 Passat Wagon V6, I have the CEL light on and it reads the codes mentioned. The strange thing is that the engine is smooth, runs like new! The only problem I have tracked is mileage, I am getting about 240 miles a tank! YIKES! The P0300. 04, 05: I feel nothing, the engine is...

    I've had the p0411 and 1423 codes plenty of times, replaced rivets in pumps, vacuum lines, Kombi Valves etc etc. Originally had both bank 1 and 2 flow codes, so I started with simply buying a new relay cause why not, as well as 4-6 ft of vacuum tubing and replaced piece by piece from the...

    I pulled the connector to the SAIP, and did not find voltage present for the pump on cold start. I verified that coolant temp was below 35 c. around 33 actually. Does this point to the J299 relay, or could something else be amiss? thanks:wrench:

    Hi all! I worked on an 02 V6 today. The check engine light was on with codes p1423 & p1411, which indicates insufficient flow on the combi valves. I checked the valve that provides the vacuum to the combi valves...on the set of check valves on top of the engine, it is the one on the farthest...

    I have an on going P1423 - Secondary Air Injection System, Low Flow Bank 1. The SAIP pump is running and only one bank is affected so I assumed the combi was plugged. I took it off and didn't find a lot of blockage as I could blow air through the valve with my lungs fairly easily. I went...

    I am only getting one Code P1423 - Secondary Air Injection Bank 1 flow too low. I have just purchased this car and the previous owner had all the work done at the dealership. For almost four years the same CEL code has shown this P1423 code. The combi-valve has been replaced several times as...

    Hi all, I have a '00 4mo wagon (ATQ V6) which we bought new, and which has 89k. We have been having issues with the check engine light coming on/off, but recently mostly staying on (I've been reseting it with a code reader from Autozone). It just passed emissions testing the other day, and...

    I know there is an issue with the catalytic converter based on the p0420 but what do the other codes mean. Searched and came up with "Secondary air injection system flow too low Banks 1 and 2" What do I need to do now? This is a 2001.5 ATQ 4 motion. Thanks!

    I need to replace the lines to the combi valves, hoping to erase codes P1411 and P1423. Anyone got a pic of the valves and lines? I don't want to make a wrong move!

    Got my first check engine light at 55K along with the Emissions Workshop message. Autozone gave me the code of P1423 EGI Failed Function Test. Does anyone know what this means?? Yes, the gas cap has been and is tight. Would this have anything to do with the MAF...or maybe a vacuum leak...
