This is a link to a video of my 04 MCS with 82k. I bought it damaged, and finally got to start it up and I hear this awful noise. The only thing I can think of is bad supercharger. Any ideas? Thanks in advance. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LfTlPiy8ahs
Probably the H2O pump PTO. Just a guess but it happened to mine and sounded similar. I'm in the process of fixing it by installing an electric water pump.
