Secondary Air Injection Solenoid Valve - N112-, Checking: General Description
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Audi A3 Quattro, 2017 Audi A3 Quattro, 2016 Audi A3 Quattro, 2016 Audi A3, and 2015 Audi A3 Quattro. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The secondary air injection system injects air into the exhaust on a cold-start of the engine for about 45 - 100 s. and serves to quickly heat the catalytic converter(s) for improved emissions. A "pressure based secondary air diagnostics" function is used. In this system, the Engine Control Module -J623- controls the Secondary Air Injection Solenoid Valve -N112-, which allows the air quantity necessary to be injected into the exhaust.
