Nicholas,
My '00 Viggen seems to want a new can of R134a every year, starting 2-3yrs ago. And yes, I always have the same symptoms; high system pressure but no cold air. You are on the right track though. I bleed out a lot of air, until I start to get freon out (the green oily stuff). Then I'll put in a can of R134a. For some weird reason, the cans I get always say "use this end up only!" (with the can upright), but my car doesn't like to take the freon. So I end up always flipping the can upside down while I charge the system. (?!)
Also, another hint, when you charge the system, make sure you put the car on the coldest setting, max recirculation, and make sure it's not in ECON mode :) Fan speed is irrelevant.
Good luck!
Seth
