Yes, that's the price to pay because someone wants to breathe fresh air.
The secondary air injection system has become a very costly emission reducing system for car owners out there.
It only kicks in for the first minutes at cold start to get the catalytic converter heated up and then lay dormant for the rest of the trip until the next cold start up.
It has nothing to do with drive ability or performance and the car runs perfect without it but it will not pass smog.
Many pumps gets ruined by water entering backwards into the pump when some of the one-way valves goes bad.
Volvo have just as many problems and similar price tags to repair the system.
The pump is $305.00 plus labor and the valve is $87.00
It is not really feasible to have a mechanic try to repair the pump if it is damaged by water. It would cost more in labor then to install a new one. If you on the other hand are familiar with car repairs, you can always tinker with it yourself. You have nothing to loose.
