Strange Sound

[Molz]

My new 165 THP seems to be making a wining/hissing sound. Almost the same as a touring cars make because of their straight cut gears.:redface:

Seems to be only at pull away/low speed and think it is linked to climate control.
When idling and I switch climate control on there is a distinct noise added to the engine sound. Not sure the wining and climate control is linked.

Anybody experienced similar?

[Molz]

just to add, I first though it to be interference to the speakers as read somewhere on the forum.

This could be the AC compressor.

[Molz]

Yes. Dealer confirmed it is the ac compressor. Putting in warrentee claim

[grant_w]

mine does this, just posted in another thread. Looks like I should get to the dealer then

Got my car back today after two week part back order wait. Delivered car. Problem not resolved. Seems to be a design/product flaw. Wat do I do?

[cyclone]

Simple, If not happy, sell it.

Or actually get some straight-cut gears. Own the WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEW sound!

[Dangerousfish]

Or if a part is on order, keep driving the car until the part arrives.

Edit: If it were a design fault I imagine there would be more than two posts regarding this over the 6 years the DS3 has been on the market.
