My Air Conditioning recently quit working. I noticed it started getting weaker so I had it recharged and it worked for about two weeks then it wouldn't get cold anymore. When it was getting weaker the A/C would make noises every 20 seconds or so. Noises that sounded like letting air out of a balloon slowly or a hissing noise. I took the car back to the place that recharged the AC and they said that it must have a leak but there is nothing that they can do for me. I also noticed that after my last general care appointment when I had all of my belts replaced and had other general maintanence done on my car is when my A/C started getting weaker. This could be coincidence but when I turned on my A/C and accelerated from a stop my car would make a brief screeching noise when it shifted out of 1st gear. It still does this, but not all the time. I'm not sure whats wrong and I don't want to get overcharged at a mechanic shop somewhere and then the problem not even be fixed.
Repairs I've had recently:
All belts replaced
Battery replaced
EGR removed, cleaned, and re-attached
Fuel System Cleaned
Spark Plugs Replaced
Coolant System flushed and filled
Transmission Flushed and filled
Oil change
Thank you for all the help.
