What is the code you are getting?
Re: what causes secondary air injector CELs? (JettaRed)

code says:

16795- secondary air injector system: incorrect flow detected
35-10..intermittent

As it says, you're getting incorrect air flow. I don't know how it figures it out, but the Bentley has a bunch of steps you need to follow to diagnose the problem. If you car is under warranty, I'd take it in. Air pumps are expensive.

Jettared : thanks for the help, i ll read up on the bentley. it might just be that the air pump crapped out after being dropped a few times with the intake manifold.

acually it was the "intake manifold vacuum servo" still on the intake manifold that prolly hit the 2nd air injectors. i ripped a few electrical cords in half when i hung my intake manifold up to my hood when i was checking my cam install a made earlier this week. so the manifold fell a few times on the pieces of plastic air injection components. ouch.
why do i need a different special "VW TOOL" to do anything on this engine?
next time the CEL comes on, im going to the dealership and have it checked out.
