  5. P0411 - P1411 Fault codes Golf MK4 V6 4 Motion

    in Engine Maintenance and Problems

    Posted · Edited by mutley999

    Hi all,

     

    I now own a Golf Mk4 V6 4motion 2003 year

     

    Car drives nice and solid but every few hundred miles the engine MIL illuminates Vagcom pulls up P0411 and P1411

     

    I understand these relate to the secondary air injection system (SAI)?

    After a read round it seems to point to either the pump not working or hoses split??

    Could someone help point me in the right direction please, where is the pump located? how to test it? Can it be removed? it is really required?

     

    I know a few questions but trying to get a understanding of what may be my best route to take to stop the fault returning 

     

    Thanks all

  10. Golf Mk3 V6 2.8 - Purple

    Golf Mk3 V6 2.8 - Purple covered 140,000

    I am new on here and looking to participate over the next few years to come.

     

    I have owned the car twice, bought it, then in a moment of madness sold it, then when the light shone through I bought it back!! :)

     

    Looking to build a mildly tuned engine now, I have created a post for this and will keep you all informed of the build

     

    Thanks :)

    Hi All

    I am new here and looking forward to many years to come !!

    I have a MK3 VR6 2.8 having covered 140,000 miles.

    I have just landed a replacement engine, with the intention of a strip and full rebuild, camshafts, timing chain, oil pump, crankshaft shells, flywheel and clutch (I think that covers the engine)

    I have been looking at Schrick camshafts.

    I have just spent the night in the garage and the engine is now in bits except the pistons and crankshaft.

    When I removed the head 3 of the bores are full of water (the engine had been left outside with 3 spark plugs removed)

    So I now require 6 pistons but after a quick hunt I can not see any for sale in the UK??!! Can anyone help please, I think I will need at least +.05 or +1.0

    So any ideas on where I can purchase the pistons from? 

    I am based in Nuneaton with several good engineering companies around here that can, skim, pressure test the head, remove and grind the valves in and fit ne valve stem oil seals.

    They can also check the crankshaft, shells etc

    So I need 6 pistons for them to bore the block to??

     

    Thanks in andvance
