Default P0491 CODE help

Hey all, 2015 Q7, CODE P0491 Secondary Air Injection System, Insufficient flow Bank 1
Anyone else have this issue, and what to look for. Possible air pump, solenoid valve, or Combi valve, or vacuum lines
Thanks

VR6, yeah those SAI's are notorious for going out.. yeh gotta just replace the pump 99% of the time..

P* codes are generic, get it plugged into a real VAG specific code reader to ensure its not a red herring.

If you cant afford an Audi Tech, then that or a more expensive VCDS is going to be pretty much required for you to work on your own vehicle.
