Took my car to the dealer to look at a service engine soon light that said "increased emissions." The response from the dealer is to "replace Y hose and secondary air valves (secondary air Y hose leaking)." Apparently my "factory type" bumper to bumper after market warranty isn't planning to cover this. The cost is $1,313. Is this something I can do on my own with aftermarket parts?
Anything you can offer quickly would be great because I need to call the dealer back on what to do with the car. Thanks!!

So far I found another shop that can do the work for $590. Still shopping... if anybody has removed the intake and can offer some advice on how difficult it is I would appreciate it. The shop is calling for 5 hours of work.

Bump!
I just go this error now, so anyone know the exact problem? I will take it to my indy shop and have them replace whatever it is. Hope it's not the catalic converter!!

I had the same happen to my 750 I just reset it in my Idrive and all is good. I dont really care to spend 1300 or so for something stupid like that. BTW - I had mine happen around 70K on the odo.

Thanks Syrousd! How do you reset it in iDrive? And does it affect the emission test results when I take it in? Mandatory here in Ontario.
Thanks again!
Thanks again!

I spoke to my mechanic, and changing the pressure valves is very important in this case, because it may cause oil leaks and gasket issues.
He said the cost may be $500 to $600, I'm going to do it.

The car never did overheat. We even checked the coolant temp on the diagnostic unit a couple
of times when we cleared it and the temp was right on.
Decided to go ahead and do the thermostat anyways and the code hasn't come back.
