Looks like the Secondary Air Injection Pump isnt working or there is a huge leak in it.
Clear the codes and see what comes back in a couple of days\cold starts

There's a filter in the SAP that you can remove and clean. This might help. Also check the tubing. More worrying is the EGT sensor, but this may be a side-effect of the secondary air problem.

Secondary Air Pump. It's the large pierburg thing in the front right side of the engine bay. The cover unclips and you can wash the filter.

If that doesn't fix it you could also check the N112 valve, too.

Had the same issues with mine about a month ago. both the air pump and solenoid where fine. In the end it turned out to be the small vacuum tubing that controls the combination valves which comes from solenoid N112 (Item 5)
Had just read this post and order up the tubing when I got the error codes. http://rs246.com/index.php?name=PNphpBB ... ght=tubing

For physical location of the N112 and the secondary air pump, see this photo:

(the secondary air pump is visible on the far left about a third up from the bottom.
