Default Clic clic clic soung in middle of engine

Hi guys,
iny xkrs i have a clic clic clic sound in the middle of the engine. Stopped by at the dealer and he says its the compressor and needs to be changed and in France dealers will change new disks and pads pretending that they are worn 3400 kilometers after replacement... and charge you 3000€ for it. So i need help
thanks

Rip-Off Alert! Even if it WAS your brakes, A set of four new pads AND rotors will cost only 400€ or thereabouts. Labor, about two hours shop time. LESS than 600€ from any REPUTABLE shop.
As per YOUR sound, it is VERY difficult to know what sound you're talking about, could be the water pump, Supercharger torsion isolators, even a Low Oil Level. You state the shop said "compressor", would that be the Supercharger or the A/C compressor?
If you could take and post a video while in a very quiet location, someone here MAY be able to help you with it.
