#1: What is this pump on the GTi 180?? Author: SinfulDesignCom, Location: Ashford, KentPosted: Thu Feb 07, 2013 2:43 pm ---- Right, the airbox that sits in the bumper of the 180... it has a pump sitting on top bracketed to the inner wing. It has a feed to the top of the air box and the other end goes... no idea, maifold I assume. I know I could ask dealer tomorrow, but I am being imaptient, and trying to plan ahead.
I can post a pic later, but someone must know. Is it emmsions control, cold start?? Can it be removed??
Many thanks...

Its designed to pull warm air into the engine from the initial start up. I read its because the exhaust levels are close to the tollerence for tests and this aids it. To be honest they are a pain. Mine is intermittent and brings the dreaded 'anti-polution' fault up if the fuel is under 1/4 tank. Im waiting for another member to be free so i can dissale it and e rid of the issue!

Cheers

#6: Re: What is this pump on the GTi 180?? Author: SinfulDesignCom, Location: Ashford, KentPosted: Thu Feb 07, 2013 2:55 pm ---- Well it can easily be fed directly to the box, bypassing the pump. It is the pump I need to move because of my new air box mapping...
I can't think that it need the pump... cant really think that it will the warm feed either being a track car???
Thoughts? Thanks again....

#8: Re: What is this pump on the GTi 180?? Author: SinfulDesignCom, Location: Ashford, KentPosted: Thu Feb 07, 2013 4:43 pm ---- Right - latest info is that this only serves to warm the cat up on cold start to improve emissions. Nothing more. So removing it will have no adverse effects short of maybe running a little rich at times, but at least it will be burnt in the exhaust and not "recycled" pouring gasses back into the induction.
At a push, you would prematurely burn your cat out, but when you are tracking it etc, you are already through the looking glass on that score...
Will report back with any issues - thanks all
