I have a 2002 9-5, 4 cylinder automatic, with 26k miles. My A/C began making the whining/groaning noise last summer, but it was very infrequent. This season, the problem became more pronounced, and with my warranty end approaching, I took the car in for repair after reading about the problem on this board.
The dealer replaced the expansion valve, but now the problem (whining/groaning) is WORSE than before! I drove by the dealer for a follow-up visit, and to my amazement, the service advisor said that there was nothing else that could be done. In fact, he said they had compared new 9-5's currently being delivered and confirmed the same issue with brand new 9-5's.
His recommendation to me was to call the 800 customer service number and complain, and to encourage them to send an engineer to his dealership to help solve the problem.
I browse this board periodically, and value the input of all the participants. Would appreciate any comments regarding this odd suggestion from a Saab Service Advisor.
Thanks,
RJ
