Car: Saab 900S Coupe 1997 P reg
I have a noise from what sounds like a motor/pump in the car.
There is a noise from a motor/pump of some sort which located under or around the front driver’s side headlamp.
This motor/pump normally starts up when you turn the key all the way, onto the ‘lights’, i.e. just before the starter motor turns. On this stage the motor/pump comes on and operates.
So it is a motor/pump which comes on before the car actually starts.
The problem is that sometimes it makes a rattling sound. I have been able to establish a pattern of when it happens, it seems fairly random. It mostly happens when the car is warm. But then it has happened when it is cold too.
What could this motor/pump be first of all? And should I get it replaced or repaired? I asked my local mechanic but he couldn’t see the motor/pump or tell me what it is. I am assuming it is a motor or pump.
Many thanks in advance,
Simon
