    Hi

    Does anyone know the location of the hose for refilling the AC on the 458?

    Thank you!

    Thank you for the answer! I assume I have to remove the covers.

    The passenger side is blowing hot air, the driver side is alright.

    My car was doing that. I had to cycle the hvac a few times. That’s more a function of the blend motors that control it inside the dash

    My car is having the same issue, its hot on the passengers side and "cooler" on the drivers side. I think I have a leak or low R134 that I need to recharge as well.
