Hi guys.... I'm getting code 16795... (incorrect air flow)... doing the research I'm guessing it's the secondry air pump... can't see any splits or cracks in hoses. I intend to have a new pump but at £700 fitted I'm looking to wait another couple of months before doing so. Will the car be okay to drive???? Its driving fine at the moment... thank you 

It's only for startup in order to heat up the cat quickly. I really wouldn't be spending almost the value of a MK1 Octavia on a secondary air pump. You can delete it, it's quite common. But if you want to keep it original, get a second hand on and swap it over yourself if you're any good with basic tools.

Hi thank you for fast reply... I don't want to be spending that much to be honest.. I have seen they can be deleted but seems quite tricky... I literally have the touch of a rapist so me nuts and bolts don't mix.. I think I'm gonna go down that route tho... will it be okay to drive for now??.. its not making any noise it just puts the eml on.. its driving fine??

Yes. You can improve it by doing a pumpectomy, but this fault is an annoyance rather than a critical failure.

Thank you 👍
