Default Check Engine Light

Hey guys. I am new to Audi and I am having a problem. I have a 2003 A8L with 60,000 miles and the check engine light came on this afternoon, however, the car is running fine and has no noticeable problem as far as performance is concerned. Any help would be much appreciated.

The code that came up is P0491 - Secondary Air Injection System Insufficient Flow (Bank 1). Anybody have any clue on how to repair this? Thanks.

Default Where is the Air Pump?

I had this same code pop up. Can someone tell me or provide a picture of what and where this air pump is at so that I can see if I have a loose hose?
Thanks
