Focus 1.6 Zetec - Air Con - willow

I recently had my air con regassed at Kwik Fit, as it was running cool - not freezing cold as I am used to. It has only been three months and the air con is again running cool and takes ages to 'cool' the car. I have checked frequently for leaks and found none. Any ideas what the problem may be and is it likely to be expensive to correct?

Thanks

Providing the compressor is working then I would suspect you have a leak.

Aren't KwikFit running a promo - cooler aircon or your money back? Anyway my 2002 1.6 Focus zetec is in the garage tomorrow with an aircon leak. Apparently it is the condenser to evaporator pipe replacement. Quoted £250. Similar thing happened in 2007 with a pipe chafed through somehow, and cost about the same! By the way my car has 125000 on the speedo.
