I have been reading the post in the forums. I have tried the DIY, techniques and I am beginning to suspect that it maybe the pump. The engine light hasn't come on but once in a while it will.

I guess I want to put this issue to bed once and for all. I don't want to pay the stealership prices for a new air pump installation.

Is it true that leaving the pump as is will not cause collateral damage to other parts surrounding it, or other systems in the car? I would prefer to fix it if I could somehow locate a used or discounted secondary air pump..

I would like to know if anyone has found a reliable source for an used or discounted air pump for our crossfires. I haven't really seen this being addressed on any of the forum topics covering this issue.

I just cannot stomach the fact this part is $800.00 plus dollars. Will a Mercedes secondary air pump work? I am open for suggestions. Please provide links/url if you know of any.

I found one link for a mercedes air pump but I am not sure if that is the one I need.

I am in the New York Metropolitan area if that matters at all.

Thanks and advance!

Update!

For all potential p0410 code issues there is a ray of hope.
My mechanic was able to use a kit that can actually salvage your existing secondary air pump if it isn't damaged to badly.

Due to my mechanics experience with mercedes and other european cars he was able to use a kit for the merecedes benz air pump which actually repairs the air pump.

This was great news to me as the cost was drastically reduced. So if any of you are debating on options mention this to your mechanic. It may just work for you too!

 

Do you have the kit number used to repair your pump???

 

I will ask my mechanic about this when I see him again.
