Hi Folks,
Hoping someone can help me on this although, reading the posts here, i think i'm in trouble. I was out in the car today, no problems or warning lights on the dash. I park up, and before I reach the front door, there's a banging noise coming from the car. It's like stones in a blender. I open the hood and it's on the passenger side down by the wheel arch (UK car). I'm almost certain it's the air compressor and it's making a massive racket. I took a video and uploaded it onto you tube here.

I'll bring it to my Indy guy tomorrow morning but I know he probably won't have the time to read through threads on it and will probably propose a new pump (if that's what it needs).
I was wondering if anyone has any ideas around fault finding steps that I should propose to him?
If it needs a new pump, i wasn't clear if there was general consensus that the German replacements are up to scratch. I assume if I go main dealer, we're into a 1-2k cost to fix it, right?
Any help or thoughts would be really appreciated.
Thanks Lads,
A
