Had my A/C re-gassed again today for the third time, this time they put 900g in, all well when stood there, but when driving it seems to get warmer.
Any ideas, as it seems the "so-called" local A/c specialists don't know.

System is holding pressure ok, just wanted to try different amounts of gas to see if it would make any difference to the performance.
Where is this by-pass valve?

Thanx guys, going into local garage 2morrow, will get them to check this valve first.
Hope it is the problem, as I have a long drive after, up to Trevor for a re-map.

Found the problem, it was the by-pass valve not shutting off fully, when we removed the plate we could move the actual valve a bit more after the control knob was fully counter-clockwise, (cold).
Only question is, how do you adjust the cable/valve, didn't want to start taking things off without knowing as i need to get the car up to Mr Jasper tonight, so have left it manually shut-off for now, at least I get some cool air into the cabin.
Your thoughts please.
Steve.
