2010 S automatic 1st. replacement compresser@1800 miles ,just as rattly maybe more than original?? Last week 9662miles Car in for ck eng. light for fourth time in over 8 mos. [some code fault# nobody's heard of ever and cant reproduce in 3 days @dealer ]Told them AC issues ,its all in their files no mysteries,They put in new Vibration Absorber #64999952 ,just as loud as before but now at idle in gear at a light etc. have a nice new dash board rattle to go with it , kill AC compressor .... no noise at all no rattles ,wish I never brought it up to them ,I love this car but in 8mos. things are getting irritating driving to dlr. swapping out all your stuff 25 miles away in the wrong direction of course, They give a loaner and seem to be trying hard but I like driving the car I bought. starting to get a little jaded. New absorber must be on the AC clutch or some type dampner anybody had one put on??????????

 

Very loud AC compressors dont last long before the seize. I had mine on my 2002 GTI do this. It was loud for a long time then one day I turned the AC on and the belt snapped as it locked up...

Sucker needs to be replaced again.
