Hello there, does anyone know the answer?
Unless the general discussion in this formum got reduced to: What color is yours?; What wheels are COOL?; What age/job/ ...... them maybe I could get an answer to this.
What is the pump in the left rear wheel well on a 98 2.8Q? What is its specific function and what could cause its malfunction manifested by a check engine light? Does anyone have a diagram of the fuel and vapor recovery system?
Thanks,
Jacek
BTW: Its Santorion Blue, stock five spoke wheels, and I work for one of the big 5.

What is that supposed to make us jealous or something?? I work for the big 5
Oooooooooooo!! Why is it so bad that people enjoy there cars so much and want to improve their appearence by adding different wheels and such. Perhaps were just trying to get to know each other by each other's colors and options. Climb off your high @$$ horse and just ask your question.<p>'97 A4 2.8 QM Pearl White/Ecru Leather

Isn't that pump on a 1.8T as well?....
If we're talking about the same thing, I thought that was the nitrous inlet valve fitted on 99.5 and MY2K A4's to accomodate the $700 nitrous package now available for 2001 models (late introduction.)

Jacek, partially agree with you
Sure seems like list has high population of folks who aren't out in the real world yet.
Then again, are you any better? The service manual CD is out; why haven't you bought it? You're asking for copyrighted material; BUY IT!

No not really. The big 5 comment was just that, a comment.
To answer all the Audi questions:
My dealer can't seem to diagnose the problem. His solution: Change the whole fuel tank/emissions system. (see my previous post about fuel system problem) His mechanic went to a gas station with me and replicated the problem in front of me. He was clueless about it too. "I have never seen this before... Don't know what to tell you."
At the dealer it was discovered that the left rear wheel liner was missing exposing the above mentioned pump, filter, and hoses. My question was therefore about the possibility of kicked up dirt causing these components to malfunction and cause check engine light. I already am having a new filter and the wheel liner put in and am going to buy the CD, but I rather not have to keep having my fault light reset while I wait for the CD and have to try to find the problem.
