Subject:      A/C too loud



I would greatly appreciate any advice or comments you may give:                 


I took my Westfalia into the Volkswagen dealership for an A/C check. The        
head mechanic had difficulty in finding any leak, so he put some dye in the     
refridgerant and checked again. He replaced a small hose connector and          
recharged the system. He then said that the compressor was running "loud" (ie.  
squeals more than it should and has some vibration), and should be replaced     
soon.                                                                           


Has anyone else had this problem (or ideas/comments)? Shouldn't the             
compressor make a bit of noise? Should I wait until the compressor fails?       


Also another question: my Westfalia has a Limited Edition plaque on each of     
the front doors. Was there a Wolfsburg Limited Edition Westfalia produced or    
was my vehicle an aftermarket conversion of a Vanagon Limited Edition?          


Thanks in advance,
