This winter I noticed that my SAI motor was running erratically and got CEL... but it was just a fuse on its last leg... New fuse was all it took.

Good luck!
I had a bad vacuum reservoir they are only 20.00 or so. easy to test with a hand vacuum pump. They make these in 2 pieces and glue it together. It should be roto molded. You can buy metal ones from Summit Racing.

The solenoid valves are the same in many German cars.
