It will throw a DTC code if your BPVs leak, FYI.

Default There is a light buzz with mine...

Not loud at all. it also quits after a few minutes. If it's the emissions part it is a Secondary Air Pump. It should not be on when the car is warm.

Default Well I've never heard of that, you should ask for the exact name of the valve and we can look it up

for you.

Default if you're looking in the manual: section 26 under exhaust ~

although sometimes (like for my 2.8) they put some of the parts under section 24 for fuel injection. generally expect the Germans to be more pedantic than that... anyway

there are 2 things they call 'valves': a vacuum control solenoid 'valve' thats on top of the engine (under the covers that is, maybe under the Y pipe on 2.7T?) and then the actual air valves on each bank that let air into the exhaust - they call those a 'Combination Valve'.
