loud vibrating noise
i just got my shot compressor replaced by a new one but it looks like the problem was not fixed
when i turn on the car i sometimes hear a loud vibatring noise at the beginning then it goes away, which never happened with the old compressor before
i took it for a test drive and that vibrating compressor noise kept coming on and off
is it safe to ride like that?
is this happening because it was not installed properly or could it be cause its a new compressor?

What model Mercedes do you drive?? Was it the A/C compressor or the supercharger (if so equipped). If not supercharged it sounds like your air pump may be on its way out. Tha air pump only runs for a few minutes in the morning and sporadically when idling to test itself.
