Wanted: Secondary Air Pump for B5 RS4

Anyone got one of these going? Mine has started whining on cold start and I need it fixing before it goes.

I was tempted to remove it from the car altogether BUT I believe it can throw a CEL. Anyone know for sure if it does or not?

Thanks

Just had mine removed and re-coded. I would do the same If I were you.
