Air conditioning (recharge fitting, 2006 diesel)

[aggie hope]

Does anyone have an idea of where to find the a/c recharge fitting??
Do I have to get any the car. Can't find it above or around the motor. Its a 2006 diesel passion cabrio.
Thanks

Evilution says it's in front on the passenger side of the 450, behind the grille. You need to take out the foglight to get at the recharge nipple.

The 451 has it in the same general location, but it's a lot harder to get the recharge hose fitting on the (oversized?) nipple. I couldn't do it!
