Air con not working

As per title when I came to use it today it was marginally better than the blowers.

Also seemed to make a "whooshing" noise when the button was pressed...

Aside from getting it re-gassed anything else obvious to check - any loose pipes etc?

Check the error codes to see if there’s anything AC related. Other than that a regas is the usual fix.

No errors code and I bought a regas kit earlier on - plugged in the gauge and it basically it was on the "warning - do not add refrigerant" level.

Can't see any leaks but the "whooshing" noise it makes when you press the air con button leads me to think a hose or something is loose or leaking?

Also the low side port is the a right pain in the arse - right at the back at the engine - the one next to the right air filter isn't the one you want

Cancel that I ran the pressure test with the engine on and put some more in - back working now - for the time being.
