96 Jetta

Thanks Nate.
Funny, you say you are not familiar with anything that new, and I think of
this car as old. Guess everything is relative.

I have confirmed that the noise is coming from the trunk on the drivers side
close to the back. Is it a simple matter of replacing the pump?

Thanks,
Terry

Its not bad. It just has a leak.

It should run for 2 or 3 seconds and stop. It it runs more, there is a leak
somewhere. There is a hose going to every door and the break at the bends.
