Hello everyone,

My son's 2011 XC70 D3 2WD has developed a kind of "shuddery/clattery" noise occasionally at idle. It seems to be synched with the air con kicking on/off.

It more noticeable from the outside - I was standing in the drive this afternoon and could hear it make the noise, then stop, then start and stop again.

I am pretty sure it is something to do with AC compressor, but would appreciate any input on diagnostics and potentially how to fix it.

Any ideas?
