02 sti aircon
hi all - had regass about 6 months ago with air con and its not too clever,when car gets going its coolish but not cold if you get my drift,i am wondering if when i replaced my auxillary belts i may not have tightened the one that goes round air con pump/pully enough ? could this be poss as i can twist the belt allmost a quarter of a turn,should this be tighter and would this cause it to not be as effective ? it was fine when regassed and if there was a leak wouldnt it not work at all

Either slack belt (most probable)... or failing compressor(?)
Does the cannister have an inspection window at the top? If so, a handful of bubbles is fine. If a lot of little ones, or none at all, then either a leak needs to be traced, or a re-gas is needed.

Replaced, but if I'm swapping engines, I'm going to clean out the cores of the aircon, rad and FMIC, plus the oil cooler....
