Hello

My Focus05 a/c blows warm air so I thought it must've run low on referigerant. Hoping to save a few quid, I bought the DIY kit off ebay. Unfortunatley, finding the low-side service port proved to be no easy thing.

The internet is filled of information about the previous model where I understood that the port is located at the right hand inner fender area.. However, there's no hint on whether it stays around the same place in the new version.

So I opened the bonnet and found two visible ports. One of which perfectly fitted the end of the hose attached to the referigerant filling can. I {Bad Word: Moderated}umed (and liked to think) that it could be the sough-after service port.. I then started the engine and ran the a/c on full blast. The gauge read "low pressure" so i push in some referigerant untill adequate pressure showed. It didn't take long though .. maybe less than 10 seconds which I found strange. Anyways, the bad news is that the air still comes out warm. And now, am terrified that I filled the referigerant into the wrong place!

Any idea? Have I done a disastrous thing?

I attach a picture of where exactly I tried to top-up the system.

Thanks!
