I have similar air con woes.

On Friday, where the outside temp got to 33 degrees where I live, I turned on the air con to the max setting and it was struggling to produce any cold air at all.


I got the system re-gassed around this time last year and a pressure test revealed all was good, i.e. no leaks.


I have been using the A/C regularly since then until lockdown and its always blown very cold. I didn't use my car very much between the lockdown period so didn't run the A/C during this time, only once or twice for a short time.


Could the gasses have escaped from the system during the last 4 months without using the A/C very much? Does it sound like I have a leak or will another re-gas do the trick?


I did try the A/C again today (21 degrees outside) and although slighter colder, was nowhere near as cold as before.
