Default Air con?

Hi, air con works fine on drivers side but passenger side not quite as cold!
Tested air con via the "How to guide" no faults found .
Demist test okay.
cannot see any leaks .
Had re-gas 12 months ago - could it require another re-gas, do they have a limited life?
Regards Dave.

Matrix may well be blocked, common issue Do a quick search for blocked matrix, I'm sure you'll find how to unblock it

Have you selected ‘LO’ on both sides? If not please do so and check again. The above replies mentioning the heater matrix assume that you are blending cool and warmed air on the ‘auto’ setting.

If you haven’t run the air con regularly all year round then yes, you might have lost refrigerant but that should not produce a temperature differential in the evaporator.
