SV6 Whine with air-conditioner

[vc213]

I Bought an SV6 Last week and there's a really loud whine/moan sound coming from the engine as i accelerate with the air conditioner on. It is really starting to bug me. Does anyone else have this?

its pretty common with vz's and VE's. its the compressor itself, there a techline on it and the comressor bracket needs to be retensioned but it strill doesnt fix it properly.
when its in park hold it 1800rpm and listen for the noise and tell me if its there i bet you thats when its at its worst

good to know. I hate trying to get a warranty repair from my local dealer

My dealer agreed it was loud and actually replaced the compressor with a new one.............but it still did it, albeit not as loud thank god..........
It is enough to give you the 'Ritchits' though.
