i have a 2012 SCAB. About 5 seconds after a cold start the air conditioner compressor / clutch makes a terrible metal to metal grinding slipping squealing sound. Dealer states that this is normal due to the a/c unit being mounted down low and having a hard time getting started due to the pump filling up with oil. Anybody else have the sound after cold starts?

I'm not sure if this is the same type of sound that I had, but Wilson's suggestion of making sure the rear vents were open seems to have eliminated the screeching from my A/C. Haven't had it happen since I did that.
