Please help me identify this part!
Hey fellas,
Just wondering whether you can help me identify the part that's circled in yellow. I've diagnosed an engine whine on my 2008 C300 that appears to be emanating from this component, yet, I have no idea what it is.
Thanks!

That's the air pump. Does it whine all the time or just after startup?

Thank you for your responses, guys.
AkaSigFreak, are you a tech by any chance?!
RLE, it whines only when throttle is being applied and seems to be most prevalent around the 1500rpm to 3000rpm range.
Glyn M Ruck, I cannot ascertain whether the excess air pump has shut down after warm up, but the whine is there when the engine is cold and when warmed up.
Does anyone know what the implications are for a failed excess air pump and how much it would cost to replace?
