Andy: What's up, guys? I'm Andy from 1A Auto. In this video, I'm gonna show you how to replace the secondary air injection pump on this 2001 BMW 325xi. If you need this part or other parts for your vehicle, click the link in the description and head over to 1aauto.com.
Take a straight-blade screwdriver and loosen up this worm clamp right here. That loose, slide it off. And try to pry this hose out.
Just gonna use a pick, just slide it in there, just release this hose. Just go all around. Grab the hose and slide it off.
And there's a bolt right here. There should be one right there. There isn't one. And then there's another bolt on this side, right here. Going to take those out. I'm going to use a 10 millimeter socket extension and a ratchet.
Pull those bolts out. Then I can grab this, disconnect the electrical connector on the bottom. Just push in the two tabs, slide it out.
Take the connector, plug it in. Just like that. You can line up the bracket. Take the bolt, get the bolt lined up. It's a little tricky to get this bolt lined in. We'll put this bolt in first.
Put this bolt in. Then if you have that other bolt, put that one on.
Take the 10 millimeter socket extension and ratchet. Tighten this down. Snug. Snug that one down.
Take this hose, get the hose clamp lined up. Slide this back in position. We're going to tighten this down. Just use a straight-blade screwdriver.
If your clamp is sticking, you can spray a little rust penetrant in there, that's all I did, and now I was able to tighten it down. And that seems good.
Now the mounts are in, it's good. The pump's nice and tight. Good to go.
