This only happens when the engine is warmed up... you can hear a screeching sound that goes on and on...

If it's coming from the item shown in the pictures, then it's your vacuum pump.

Is the soumd normal?

The squealing sound I heard, no. The ticking of the FSI system, that's normal. I believe a few of those vacuum pumps have worn out, so it may be that pump is the issue.

Yes... the squealing sound is the problem... what do you guys think are my options is this a known fault?

Turns out its the water pump... And I have no warranty... do you guys think I could push a goodwill replacement? how common is that in this engines?
