Reference
For an exact description of the operating
mode this system, please refer to
SSP 217 - The V8 5V Engine.
Operating mode in the RS4
The secondary air system operates in much the
same way as that in the Q7 engine. The difference
here lies in the way the combination valves open
and close.
The air path from the secondary air pump to the
secondary air duct in the cylinder head is opened by
means of a vacuum unit on the combination valve.
The vacuum unit is controlled by the secondary air
inlet valve N112 via the engine control unit.
