P0411 and Canister Solenoid
I got the following codes: 1296 and P0411
For what I've read it's related to the combi valve and the secondary air injection system.
I went to my mechanic and he said that the P0411 has to do with the evap system and the canister. He gave me an estimate for $530 for the canister and the Solenoid valve and the work. He wasn't willing to listen and insisted that it was the canister.
After reading the forums I remembered that about two years ago I changed the air pump. The guy that did it showed me one of the hoses, it was kind of bad, but he said that I didn't need to change it. I'm not thinking that the problem is in one of those hoses.
I wish I knew more about mechanics and had the tools, but what would you recommend for me to do?
Is it possible that there's a problem with the canister according to these codes?

Maybe this can help:
16795/P0411/001041 - Secondary Air Injection System: Incorrect Flow Detected
Possible Solutions
* Check Fuel Pump Relay (J17)
* Check Hoses/Pipes to/between Components
* Check Secondary Air Injection Pump (V101)
* Check Secondary Air Injection Pump Relay (J299)
* Check Secondary Air Injection Solenoid Valve (N112)
Look what another user says:
Don't know what to say about the second code.

just wanted to share my p0411 solution (01.5 a4 1.8t); hopefully this will help someone else out that has the same problem. i know that the yellow CEL was eating my soul!~
ok, basically i inspected all the vacuum lines from the secondary air pump up to combi valve in back of head. everything was ok; no cracks or kinks.
made sure my secondary air pump was working (runs for about 30 secs on cold start, then stops as idle drops to 900rpm).
at your combi valve, there is a big vacuum hose going in on the passenger side. there is also a small hose coming out of the opposite (driver's) side of the combi valve. that's where my problem was. the hose coming out of the combi valve appeared to totally disintegrate, and it was just hanging there disconnected!
so i grabbed a fitting, put on a new hose and hooked it all up. didn't pay a penny!

I figured out what was the problem with my car, in case it helps some one out there.
The problem was the plug that goes into the air pump, it had some water and was pretty dirty... I just cleaned it and the light has been gone for almost a week.
Hopefully it won't come back!
Thanks guys for your help!
