Hi Dean,
The noise is a groaning noise. I can feel the pipes at the bulkhead vibrating. It seems to be induced by reciprocating impulses.
I have just bought the car and so I don't know how it was doing in summer.
I does the noise at about 6 to 15 deg. C outside temperature.
I have noticed that sometimes when the compressor kicks out the pulley still drags a little and then stops. Sometimes the noise does not stop right away when I press the eco mode as if the clutch hangs up. When I run the AC the the compressor does chill the air. The pipes at the bulkhead go cold right away too. But I do not know how it would perform in 30 C in summer. Let me know if you have further questions or tests I should do.
I already have to do the head gasket myself, so I don't like the idea of having to spend a pile of money on the AC.
When I first looked at that bitch of a car, she charmed me so badly that I did not investigated her thoroughly enought despite the fact that I consider myself a car mechanic even I don't do it for living. So now I may to admit to myself that I got a lemon with already an head gasket and AC to fix (not to mention the heater core I have just changed and another bunch of smaller ones). When you fell in love you get blind....
