R350 - strange rattling noise when A/C air condition is active/used

[Kingpin!]

A strange "rattling" noise can be heard from underneath the body of the car when A/C (air condition) is active/used (e.g when the AC button is lit (red LED)).

The A/C works fine and it's as cold as it use to be but the noise is something "new" that I haven't heard/noticed before, and, maybe that has to do with the last couple of days which have been quite hot?

Please tell me this is an easy and relatively cheap fix?


Thanks!

I actually nailed it down. It's a pipe-holder that is loose (probably missing a screw and a nut) so I will check with the workshop about parts and possible help. It was visual when the car was in idle/neutral by looking underneath, the holder was rattling in sync with the noise.
