Re: Air pump (tikiltd)
It s on the drivers side of the engine bay by the alternator. If I am correct it is used to pump air into the exhaust to get everything up to temp. A-lot of people get rid of the air system myself included

It works in open loop to divert air via the exhaust manifolds to the cats to get them up to temp. quicker. It runs for a max of 4 minutes or until the system goes into closed loop. Hopes this helps.

It can't be replaced by a pulley, it's electrical. You can disconnect it though, it's only active at startup.
