Audi A6 C5 4.2L V8 5V BAS Secondary Air Injection Maintenance
The secondary air system is designed to enable catalytic converter to heat up and reach its operating temperature more quickly after a cold start.
Principle of operation
Due to extra mixture enrichment during cold-start phase, an increased amount of unburnt hydrocarbons is carried in exhaust gas. The secondary air system improves the afterburning (oxidation) process in the catalytic converter, and in this way reduces toxic emissions. Heat generated by oxidation accelerates “light off” of catalytic converter and significantly improves exhaust gas quality during warm-up.

GRIP Chevy Cobalt Body Kit Installation
All GRIP body kits need to be properly sanded and primed before painting, even if the part arrives pre-primed. Failure to properly prepare parts before painting can result in poor paint finish and adhesion. Please prefit parts before painting! Once a part has been painted or modified in any way it cannot be returned.
1: Look over vehicle before installing the body kit to make note of all attachment points on existing fascia. Since GRIP uses all existing attachment points, it is very important not to harm existing mounting holes and / or fasteners. Some fasteners that are drilled out cannot be reused. It is very important to use special care when removing the reusable fasteners from the panels since they will not be provided by GRIP. GRIP only provides non-reusable fasteners with its kits.
