What is this part off a Galaxy VR6?

[rcx132]

Sorry to have to ask such a silly thing, but just can't figure out what this part is. It sits behind the radiator of my Galaxy VR6. It has an electical two pole connector and two hoses attached. One of the hoses vents via a filter.

The rubber mounts on it are shot and don't even know what to search for to find new mounts.

Its called a secondary air pump. It pumps air into the exhaust system to help the cat reach operating temperature quicker and reduce emissions

if the mounts have a 6mm stud they are used everywhere from air filter mounts on Citrooen and Peugeot to the engine under tray mounts on VW.........8mm are still used but can't remember where.......
I bought some for my Indian project and paid about £1.00 each.......they were on a bubble pack stand in a car acces shop........Frank

Renault exhaust rubbers are cheap if they are 6mm, 39p each from our local spares shop. I used them to hold the engine cover on the Berlingo they last longer than the proper ones.

Same pump as on the Seat Altea 1.6

Thanks, the rubbers have a stud on one side and the other side slides onto the pump. You can see one in the first photo I posted.

Found some similar looking ones on eBay for a different VW which might fit as these early Galaxies use mainly VW parts.
