Air con problem? Strange one

I had my air con re gassed a couple of weeks ago all nice and cold but now it’s not really very cold at all. The strange thing is one of the rear vents is actually still quite cold. Colder than all the others anyway?
I’ve tried it on auto and having all three blowing options turned on but doesn’t seem to make any difference. Both temperatures are turned right down as well. Am I missing something?

I’m no expert , but did they pressure test the system before re-gassing it ?
Had mine re-gassed yesterday and it actually took longer to do the tests than fill it with gas ?
Sounds like you may have a small leak somewhere , I’m sure someone more knowledgeable will

I thought it would be a leak but the rear vent being cooler confused me a bit?

That is strange ??
I suggest having it pressure tested first , I’m pretty sure they used some kind of dye in mine to test for any leaks in the system. But like I said I’m no expert, I just stood and watched Thumbs Up

Had a similar problem with my other car a small Renault it took the air-con guy a while to find it was 2 small leaks so i would say get it checked it will more than likely be low gas Thumbs Up

Take it back as they have probably put a dye in it, then they can use the black light to find the leak. I think the cooler vent is probably a coincidence, try a thermometer on each one. 2012 5.0 SC AB
