You cannot judge coolant level from the pressure reading. The system has variable pressure and it might only require 6bar to keep the evaporator at the proper temp. You'll need to look at the pressure readings when the system is in a high demand state for rapid cooling, and if it maxes at 6bar, then you have a problem.

If you have lost coolant (R134a) then you probably have a leak.
