Id like to know common problems with air con in vt so i can diagnose my problems.
Any ideas guys ?
I gassed it recently and it worked for about 3 days then it stopped working I also hear a noise out of the middle two air con vents as if its trying to push cold out but its not coming like a ssshhhhh noise and no im not talking about the fan lol.

I had the same issue with my VT last week, regassed and worked for a day, turns out the compressor was ****ed. All up cost me $675 + 180 regas

Far out so im in for a bit of cash that would be right can anyone teach me how to do this myself minus the gas obviously ?

Under the 2 hoses on the compressor are o-rings. The cost about $8.60 each from motor traders, this is the most common problem.

Yes !!
on passenger side look down into engine bay at the compressor. You will see that 2 hoses connect to it, in the middle of the hoses is 1 bolt. Make certain there is no gas in the system then undo the bolt and pull the hose connections off. You should then see the 2 o-rings im talking about. I was quoted $8.60 each from Motor Traders, mind you Ultra Tune charged us $75 to supply/fit. So your better off replacing them yourself and then asking them to retest for leaks.
