Continental GT Humming Noise

Like I said, it's an Audi/VW pump. The last letter denotes the year, so A is earliest, etc.
It's not too difficult to swap.
There are lots on eBay UK at the moment if you want a used one. Here's a link; http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_od...27317&_sacat=0

Hi.
Yes, no worries, they are the same and all have the Audi/VW logo on them and the same part number.
My Audi A8 one has worked just fine since I changed it.
Very Important. Remember to activate the jacking setting before you start. Here is the procedure and for any new members, I have a copy of this in the boot/trunk on top of the spare wheel to alert any wayward mechanics.

Very true. The main dealer wanted to remove my engine to replace a cam sensor. My Indie changed it in around 20 minutes with the engine in situ and saved me thousands. Luckily I didn't have the time to leave it with the main dealer and in the meantime I found out about the Indie.

Electric Hissing Noise When Brake Applied
Others have described an electric hissing noise from the driver’s fender area when the brake is depresssed. I have 2006 Bentley Continental GT and get this fairly loud electric hiss that lasts only 15-20 seconds. It happens every single time I depress the brake. My mechanic said it was from the electric vacuum pump which is locate right where the sound originates so I had it replaced. The result? Absolutely no difference! What else could be causing this? The car drives perfectly otherwise.
