I'm not sure if this is common among all sciroccos, but whenever I
turn the key on my car I hear a loud buzzing sound coming from the
area where this accumulator would be. Does anyone else have this
happen to them? I was wondering if there was a way to dampen the
sound. Some times you can barely hear anything, then there are times
when it is so loud I can hear it over my stereo, as long as I don't
crank the stereo.
