Tried eurospares, ferrparts, ricambia, etc. About $1,000 - anybody knows of a cheaper source or cross part? thanks in advance for your time. Image Unavailable, Please Login
Hi Paul, this parts site in Italy has it listed for € 455,47, which equals $491.88 today. The site also has an email address and phone number to verify availability. https://www.autovivo.it/1531-secondary-air-pump
Looks like it can be easily dismantled, is a repair possible? SPAL Pump Type 02. Image Unavailable, Please Login
Interesting threads here if you haven't seen them. https://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/threads/secondary-air-pump.449548/ https://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/threads/air-pump.420281/
I have one that I took apart to see if it could be rebuilt. Pretty much the most poorly made thing you can imagine.
+1 You wanna see poor take a look at the rad fan motors up front that were expected to be in a harsh environment. Both of mine had to be replaced at 40K on an occasionally driven car. Yes, I know what the purist says, its not a Toyota or Honda
Another option if you are unable to find an original for a decent price is to look at the secondary air pumps used by other manufacturers and see if they can be adapted to work. For instance here is a reasonably priced Toyota air pump that I am sure would work just fine once adapted to fit: https://www.amazon.com/Brand-Secondary-Injection-2004-2011-Toyota/dp/B00KJFWQP8 and it is probably better made. I have seen others in the $70 price range brand new on eBay.
I would be tempted to buy a $75 air pump from a Lexus or Ford and make it work. It is exceedingly simple. 1. Provide it with 12V to run 2. Connect the pump output to a hose. Mount the pump in someway not obvious to the smog technician. Like HELL am I going to pay $1,000 just because it comes in a yellow box.
I haven't had time take a look at it, but when I do, I'll make sure to document the process hopefully so it helps others...stay tuned.
I shall do 20 Hail Mary's, and 10 Lord's Prayers - in fact, I shall make sure it is Holy Water in the radiator.
