[QUOTE="Mike akaRedsfan, post: 577283, member: 62171"] Okay here is more deatil on my question. I spoke to the guy at Volkswagen and he gave me info that I don't really understand but doesn't appear to be b.s.: Starting in 2007, there will be new emmission laws in regards to the burning of Raw Fuel. What Volkswagen has done now is add a Secondary Air Pump Injector to their fleet of cars to meet the new standards beginning next year. Basically this injector recirculates air out of the exhaust and uses it as intake air. What she is hearing is the downpipe from the intake manifold going to the catalytic converter as it heats up at start up. This is all being done so no raw fuel is released into the atmosphere. This problem will not surface in the summer of course,because of warmer outside temps. Hope I explained it somewhat intelligibly for you car geeks :) [/QUOTE]
