New GL450 Owner - Question
Hello All,
Just got a new GL450 a few weeks ago...
Noticied an intermittent but loud vacuum like sound from the engine bay area, is this normal? Seems like it is tied to AC systerm?
Hate going to service, thought I would ask here if anyone else experiences this noise, TIA

Is this happening while it's running, or after you've shut it off? GL's sometimes make noises from the air shocks and or oil circulation pumps after they are shut down.

Could it be coming from the tire area? I had a suspension 'bag' burst on a rear wheel and it sounded like an air compressor (it is since it's trying to fill the air suspension back up to pressure). But I don't think that would be intermittent.

Based on what you have been able to tell us......dosen't sound like anything I have ever heard.....suggest to you visit service.
