Air pump sound on my 97 passat vr6


Recommended Posts

Hey guys I have a 97 passat vr6 12v that I am using as a dedicated circle track car. When my other car was wrecked I picked up this car to start racing. It is a very stock series. i pretty much gutted the interior put in a cage and racing seat and i was good to go. I wanted to disable the AC so I just cut the lines going to it and removed the condenser. Now when my car starts up I get this pump sounding thing running. I am not to great with cars at this moment. It runs for a while and then shuts off. Do you know what this is? It sounds like and air pump or some vaccum thing. Its quite loud.

Thanks for your help,

Kevin

Sounds like your compressor mate. You'll see it down near the power steering pump....

You could unplug it to disengage the clutch, or remove it (to save weight as they are really heavy!!!) but you will need to get a single sided ribbed belt :)

Hope that helps!
