1999 E36...

When I turn the aircon on, the air from the vents is cool, but there is a noise that sounds like an extrememly pee-ed off wasp coming from drivers side in the engine bay.

Any ideas? Knackered pump of some sort?

^^ my guess as well, but mine's been like it for donkeys, & it's still sailing on - my wasp sounds faintly annoyed, though, rather than really p!55ed off! It might respond to some WD40 if you can get at it.

Thanks for your reply chaps. I'm afraid however, you both got it wrong. It's a lot more serious.
