Secondary Air Pump

[Silver Bullet]

Hi ,

Im looking for some information, has anyone repaired the leaking Secondary Air Pump ?. The 2 halves  currently are held together with 6 alumium small tubes that have the ends swaged over .

They eventually stretch / corrode allowing a gap to occur and air escape. Mine sounds like a vacuum cleaner that has been gradually louder over the years on start up.

I have some s/steel bolts nuts washers on order and plan to do the repair.

The question I'd like an answer to is :-  Did you use any gasket sealer when bolting it together or just rely on the fit to make it airtight ?

Thanks

 I didn't bother with sealant, just the nuts, bolts and washers, did the job for a few years before eventually I ripped it out with all the other usual deletes.

Thanks Andy👍,

Ive since tracked down a "howto" on a golf forum and the guy did the same thing.

How do you find the new Octy VRS ?.
