Default AC Problem and recommendations

I have an 2007 Avant S-line and it seems that the AC doesn't blow cold anymore after this past winter. I've hooked up a pressure gauge to the low side AC line and the pressure shows 80psi (seems high to me though) which leads me to believe that the refrigerant is ok.

Checked all the fuses and they are fine. I've made sure that the ECON switch is off but it blows warmish air when set to LO. There's no warnings on the dash either.

Is there any suggestions on what else it might be? Failing that any suggestions on who to take it to? I normally go to Tunedub in Calgary for service but thinking that an AC specialist might be best in this case.

Mine is doing the same thing, checked the pressure, and its all good. This happened after I took it to the dealer and they washed the car and the engine bay after the service. Taking it back to see if they will fix it, the compressor is not turning on. We will see what they come up with.

So just got the call from the other dealer, they checked it out and sure enough the compressor was disconnected due to the pressure washing by the first dealer. I also needed the system recharged which was $200 at the dealer. Better than forkin gup the $1800 for a new compressor and replacement.
