As you might already know, I decided to remove the complete secondary air pump assembly.

By doing so you have to remove a corrugated type plastic hose that runs from the pump to the main air box. This leaves you with a hole to fill or block.

Originally I just duct taped it shut. However a very sharp Audi technician that works on my car remembered something and suggested I research it with the parts department, which I did. I ended up ordering a part that we had at the time thought could be used to perfectly seal the hole.

Sure enough today I received it and test fitted it on and I'm happy to report that it works great and looks totally OEM (which it is).

The part, a plastic cap is from the A8 2003 to 2007 and 2008/2009 model years. The part number is <b>1J0131510.</b>

The plastic cap, top side. You can see the o ring that makes the seal.

Plastic cap, the reverse side. The outer ring "clicks in" and locks the cap securely into position.
