Secondary Air & Smog Pumps

Secondary air pumps are essential components of exhaust systems that help reduce exhaust emissions by supporting the engine's combustion process. By supplying additional air to the exhaust system, secondary air pumps help meet stringent emission standards and improve engine efficiency. At Global Parts, you will find a wide selection of used car parts , including secondary air pumps , perfectly matched to brands such as BMW , Audi , Mercedes , Volkswagen , Mini and more .

What are the functions of secondary air pumps?

Secondary air pumps play a vital role in reducing emissions and supporting engine performance:

• Reduced exhaust emissions – Delivers additional air to the exhaust system, allowing residual fuel to be burned more efficiently.
• Supports the operation of the catalytic converter – They accelerate the heating of the catalytic converter, which increases its efficiency.
• Improving vehicle ecology – Helps meet exhaust emission standards such as Euro 5 or Euro 6.
• Impact on engine performance – They support the combustion process, which has a positive effect on engine operation.

Used car parts , such as secondary air pumps, allow for the economical restoration of the full functionality of the exhaust system.

Why is it worth taking care of secondary air pumps?

Efficient secondary air pumps are critical to proper exhaust system operation and meeting emission standards. Common problems include:

• Mechanism contamination – A build-up of soot or sediment can impede pump operation.
• Impeller Damage – A worn or damaged impeller can reduce pump performance.
• Electric Motor Failure – A faulty pump motor prevents air delivery.
• Wiring and connector problems – Damaged wiring can disrupt the operation of the entire system.

If you need replacement, choose used car parts , which will ensure high quality and reliability.

• Durability of materials – Choose pumps made of high-quality materials that can withstand high temperatures and pressures.

How to take care of secondary air pumps?

• Regular cleaning – Remove deposits and soot to prevent pump malfunction.
• Inspection of cables and connections – Regularly check the condition of connections to avoid leaks and open circuits.
