Squeaky sound coming out of engine bay.

My 2010 TT came in last night. Its beautiful, ill post pictures soon. However, this squeak sounds it makes is driving me nuts. It sounds like someone is turning a squeaky wheel slowly, prruup ..... prruup ..... prruup. I drove the car all day today hoping that it would go away but it wont.

I took a picture of where I think it is coming from but I have no idea what it is or what its called. Any ideas on how to remedy?



When I rest a screwdriver on top of it I can feel the vibration in sync with the squeak.

I was able to fix the squeak by re-seating that air valve shown in pic above. Not seen in the pic, the bottom portion was slightly slanted. I believe air pressure was leaking and causing a whistle each time the valve opened. Now I can enjoy the sound of the turbos!
