This started last summer, and now that it's hot again, it's happening again: passenger-side air conditioning doesn't blow cold.

The driver's side blows ice cold, and the passenger is left with what feels like ambient temperature air blowing on them. Not hot air from outside, but "barely cooled" air.

I tried switching between recirc and fresh, changing vent modes, etc, but nothing seems to work.

Wife isn't happy to not have AC and is demanding that she drives my LC so she'll get the cold air. Please help before I file for divorce. :p
 
When mine did that I added some refrigerant and that solved it.
 
So you had a leak? I guess I can get checked for refrigerant leaks.
I added refrigerant and it fixed my problem, this was 3 years ago and it's still fixed.
Leak? Don't know.
I added it, I didn't go get it filled, I filled it myself, I did not get it tested for a leak first.
I fix things myself, it's satisfying.

I do as well - did you use one of the cans with the attached gauge from autozone (or wherever)?
 
An update - I added refrigerant using a can from A/C Pro. Low pressure line read about 32 PSI and I added to about 44 PSI. Fixed the issue, now blowing cold on both driver and passenger sides.

I don't think I have any leaks, but the issue started the summer after the dealership did a bunch of maintenance related work on my car. So maybe they accidentally released some pressure. Who knows.

It is relatively common for older 200s to need a slight top up even without anything qualifying as a real leak, so it could be unrelated to the work they did. Glad you got it sorted
