I think you are pointing at the fuel cooler. You are losing freon by the hissing noise.

Take it to an A/C shop, have it properly evacuated, and recharged.

You should probably have the A/C shop replace the o-ring seal at that coupling. Usually they will develop a small leak if the joint is disturbed.

Is it expensive to top up? Out of curiosity where do they top up (connectors)? Is it a simple process?
Is there new law where certain refrigerant is now ban, is that impact on my w202 1994 model car? |

If I'm not mistaken your car should use R134a, cheaper to refill but still could cost $100-$300 depending where you go.

As mentioned, your car should use 134 - there should be a label in the engine compartment, confirming this.

Just as well my a/c was not cold enought prior to this, I think it need changing gas anyhow. How often is this a/c check done during service. Mine is now 135,000km & i dont recollect it being done by MB service?

unless you complain about no A/C it's not going to be serviced, there is probably a leak somewhere else in the system.

If you leave it unsealed, you could be letting in moisture, which could damage the compressor, and you will have to replace the dryer.
