Circular thingy sticking at random intervals

Hi All,

I was demonstrating the 1320 manifold whistle to a colleague when he remarked that he could hear a clicking sound. We popped the bonnet and found the source of the issue:

This obviously doesn't look right, but I'm not sure what that part does? I don't remember seeing it before. The car was remapped last week, not sure if that could be a factor?

Need to know how bad etc

That's normal, that's the aircon pump engaging/disengaging.    All cars will do this with the system turned on and the engine idling. Turn the aircon off and it won't spin.

The AC clutch is quite loud on this car..... the bonnet insulation partially does it's job to hide it from the outside. Mine must sound poorly to others with no bonnet insulation, AC clonking, SC whining, injectors clicking,,,,, thank god I don't have the crickets.

The car is totalled, i'll give you £200 for it 

 

 

only kidding, as above it's the air con just engaging/disconnecting, these modern cars and their fancy tech eh?

Thanks everyone, even Tareim for his kind offer.
