AC Problem in 96 E320

Living here in Florida, I use the AC quite a bit more than when I lived in New York. Recently, I noticed that my AC wasn't blowing quite as cold as usual; actually, the driver's side wasn't. The passenger side seemed to be blowing cold. Any help would be appreciated.

You can try having it recharged, thats what mine did when it was low on R134. If that doesnt work, you might have to check the DUO Valve (controls the coolant flow for each side of heater core).

Not cold on the drivers side is a symptom of low refrigerant charge. You have a leak, possibly a very slow leak. Have the system checked for leaks, repaired if necessary, recharged, and you are on your way.

Thanks. Now both sides aren't blowing cold so I'll have the R134 checked.
