Hi
just test the temperature of the air comming out the AC.
It should be about +4 to +7 degrees celsius when it is about 20 degrees
outside the car.
bye

Sounds like you have a freon (or whatever the new stuff is called)
leak. If Ford had to drain the freon when they made the repair, it's
likely they are the cause of the leak. Or your system has just lost
enough over time that it is due a recharge. (It happens.)

You can take it in and have a leak check done and if one is found, can
have it fixed. Or you can buy the supplies yourself at a auto parts
store or Wal Mart type place and give it a shot yourself. It's much
cheaper to do it yourself if you just need a recharge. If it has a
significant leak though, you are better off letting the professionals
do it.

I see that this is related to the Focus. I have a Mondeo and have just
had the unit re-gassed and it still does not blow cold! The garage
have said that there are no leaks so what can it be?

First check the condensor fan(s) are running and not seized, and that its
not blocked with dead flies / leaves etc.

With the a/c running the condensor should be hot to the touch. If not, then
the compressor is not engaged / not pumping the gas through the system.

I have a similar problem and had it checked out, turned out to be a leaky
compressor. Repair shop wanted to charge $350 just for the install, so I
just bought the part from the local auto parts store for $80 and will have a
friend install and do the recharge of it.
