Description
The BMW Secondary Air Pump Kit is a vital component of the emissions system, specifically designed for E36 models with the M52 engine. This air pump (commonly referred to as the "Smog Pump") injects air into the exhaust system during cold starts, enhancing the catalytic converter's efficiency and reducing excess emissions.
Key Features and Benefits:
- Designed for E36 M52 Engines: A perfect fit for BMW 323i, 323is, 328i, and 328is models from 1996-1999.
- Improved Emissions Output: Pumps air into the exhaust system to aid the catalytic converter in burning off emissions, especially during cold starts.
- Prevents Common Issues: A failing air pump can lead to engine codes or even backfiring; this kit ensures smooth operation and compliance with emissions standards.
- Comprehensive Kit: Includes all necessary components for a seamless replacement, eliminating guesswork and ensuring a hassle-free installation.
Symptoms of a Failing Air Pump
- Check Engine Light: Fault codes related to the air pump or secondary air injection system.
- Backfiring: Unburned emissions in the exhaust system can cause popping or backfiring during a cold start.
