No. Go and get it regassed. Also check there's no blockage in the condensor and the electric fan is working

30 min, I would set my car on fire if the AC took that long to work. My cars know that it isn't a idle threat either :wink:

Have a look through it from the front, you may need a torch. I'm talking about grass seeds and mud blocking air flow through it

Looks just like a smaller version of a radiator and sits in front of the radiator

yeah get it regassed, with proper r134a and a dye, a proper AC tech should give you a good idea on the state of the system when he does it

its called a condensor. Evaporator is under the dash ;)

and you can pressurize the system with the right fittings before you re-gas it to check for leaks etc

Check your a/c belt is tight too. But along with everyone else, go and get it regassed and leak checked. Should be done every twelve months (even though I've never done either of my cars)

Also note an A/c service might cost a lil more now due to the Rize in price of r134a gas (about a 300% increase)

Just wondering how you suggest to pressurise the system? I usually apply vacuum and leave for an hour or so while the guages are on and look for a leak.
