The green line in the top right corner , does that indicate how full the a/c is or is it just there for show ?

Been told I need a re-gas but it seems fine to me 

No lol that tell you is it making your car use more or less fuel.

Is that not the bar at the bottom right across from where it says consumption. ? 
 

i’m referring to the one above it across from where it says ❄️air conditioning 

No way the car can know how much refrigerant is in the system. Except when there becomes 'not enough to operate A/C'.

 

If it's working leave it alone.  Mines never been topped up from new.

That just lets you know that Air Con is the biggest of your consumers (as it's the only one that's on) nothing to do with gassing levels.

Watch the display and turn on your heated mirrors or heated seats if you have them, they'll show up there too and the bar should change.

 

If the Air con is not blowing cold then you probably have a leak and need a fix and a re-gassing, I've never re-gassed mine but then the missus's 2019 Octavia blows a lot colder than mine at LO so maybe I do but doesn't bother me too much.

@ords agree with that if its working you could leave it alone. 

 

the thing with Climate is that its on all the time (albeit the AC won't run when temperatures are below 5C) and this helps keep the refrigerant gas and oil moving around and they loose less than manual A/C systems. 

 

I would add though that I have mine serviced every few years by a trust worthy mobile A/C specialist in my area  and it does loose refrigerant between them,  around 10-15%. I like that its all he does is A/C system repairs and servicing.  Being an engineering scientist 👨‍🔬I'm very nosey,  and he's happy for me to watch and see the weight of the refrigerant extracted so he can determine how much its lost each visit.😁

Exactly. As long as the temp is comfortable for you, leave it alone.
