What's this noise?
I get this noise (sounds like a vacuum cleaner) when starting from cold. It goes off after about 20 seconds. No smoke and no cel.
Any ideas? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yCEh3611i_M |
Your SAI pump is crapping out.
You can take these apart and lube the bearings. They dry out and make noise a while before they die. |
Depends on how loud it is. Its normal to hear a faint whine.

Watching the video, it's abnormally loud. If he's in the U.K., is there even an SAI?

That's definitely bad/dry bushing on the secondary air pump. Easy fix and cheap if you take it apart and grease them before they burn up the motor.

Thanks for the quick replies.
I guess I have a project for tomorrow! It looks fairly easy to remove! Are there any write-ups for this and what type of grease is required? |
Many VAG products use the same SAI pump. Here's a DIY I found where an Audi owner gutted his and nursed it back to life.
WRITEUP: 2.7T Secondary Air Injection SAI Pump rebuild - AudiWorld Forums Or check with Woody... he may be able to fix you up with a decent used one. |
