During a cold start, air is blown from the secondary air system into the exhaust ports. This produces an oxygen rich exhaust gas, causing afterburning and reducing the heat-up phase of the catalytic converter. |
WARNING When doing any repair work, especially in the engine compartment, pay attention to the following due to the cramped conditions: |
t
| Route all the various lines (e.g. for fuel, hydraulics, activated charcoal filter system, coolant, refrigerant, brake fluid and vacuum) and electrical wiring in their original positions. |
t
| Ensure that there is sufficient clearance to all moving or hot components. |
