I have twin Kad 44's on my V40 and I have noticed a pronounced click/pinging noise when the pulleys engage on the compressors. This sound is loud enough to be clearly heard in the cockpit over the engine noise and although it does not seem to get worse it is worrying me. I dont think it happened when I first got the boat but I am not sure. If the drives are trimmed up then it happens more frequently but only because the compressors come in and out more.

Any ideas or does any one else have this problem?

I have explained it to the boatyard but they suggest a sea trial but I am reluctant to throw money at what may be a "feature" of this engine.

Cheers

Chris
