Airconditioning Not Cooling

[willied]

I have a 2004 d4d avensis,currently the aircon does not cool the air sufficiently,i have checked the system for gas and it seems fine the only other problem is a noise coming from the compressor area which disappears when the aircon switch is selected to on,the system tubing at the compressor is hot and cold and cold where it enters the car ie the recharge point,there is a smaller tube beside the recharge point tube which is neither hot or cold.

Has anyone had similar problems and if so what was the fix

Not an expert but it sounds like the compressor clutch.

A leak check and re-gas may or may not be needed.
