My other car is also a 5-speed manual. S70

I'd surely try to DOCUMENT everything before the warranty expires, including the leak and the growling compressor! Make SURE the dealer documents everything - ALL your complaints - in the paperwork. Also consider having your INDY look for the leak before the warranty expires!

Then if everything falls apart the day after the warranty expires you can grumble and mumble things about lawyers. I didn't need to do any such thing, BTW, but I suspect my service advisor plead the case to the service manager for me. Your results may vary, as they say.

I do understand that it's claimed that the cars sometimes just have noisy compressors, I'm at 109k now and will be at about 125k by the summer, so the compressor would be a real stretch for me. These things are just cars, they do fail and there are a lot of things to fail.

I've mentioned before that NO ONE who has worked on the car has a perfect record, my Volvo dealer has screwed up more things but they've also worked on the car the most.

Sometimes it seems like it's a bunch of guys in Roswell New Mexico trying to fix a flying saucer. Sigh. I don't think a Mercedes or BMW would be any better.

Good luck!
