Does my A/C need re-gassing?

[TOD.000]

I'm assuming that's what the problem is but I don't want to get a $1000 shock when I go to get it fixed!

VT Exec S1
-Green A/C LED turns on
-Warm air comes out
-'Hissing' sound from somewhere near the glove box

Any advice would be appreciated

Does it start too cool down at all after the initial heat comming out or does it stay hot?

ive got the same prob, but with no hissing, just dosnt cool down at all ,

is there a fuse for the aircon? or just the relay? or does it just need re-gassing

i also have problems with my aircon in my vt it still puts out cold and hot air fine but under acceleration it cuts off blowin at your face and changes to demist by itself any ideas??? also when i de-accelerate it makes what can best be described as farting noises lol. got me stumped??

If the aircon light comes on when you press it then its not a fuse or relay.
I'd say it needs re-gassing and will cost arround $90.

To be on the safe side they will test your aircon when they re-gas to make sure the compressor is in good order.

hissing around the glovebox would indicate a hose off the vaccuum tank behind the glove box, pull the glovebox out and check the orange hoses around there
