since it's getting warmer lately, i have started to use the ac more and noticed it's not as cold as it was before. i got a 03 tl and just change the cabin filter about a month ago, any of you guys notice your ac not as cold?

maybe you need to have your system charged

Its not that hard to do yourself if your mechanically inclined.

I had mine recharged at Park Ave last Friday under warranty.

In some states getting refrigerant is near impossible because of enviromental concerns.

Nope, not on our cars. Only cars before '95 uses Freon which is believed to cause harm to the ozone layer. However, you can still get it as long as your car's a pre-'95 model and came with Freon.

All '95 and later models use R-134a, which is more environment-friendly. R-134a is easy to find.

Does the TL have a site glass like older accords used to? You can tell if the AC system is low on refigerant charge by looking at it and seeing if it is foaming.
