    Did it ever blow colder? If not then that could simply be how it is. The a/c unit is small and not as good as in some other cars. Mine is coping but nothing like as good as in the Mondeo.

    I would suspect the level of refrigerant could be the cause if it's not very cold.

    When the AC is on and you're stationary does the fan kick in? Also check in front of the condenser behind the front bumper for leaves or anything in the way blocking airflow.

    If it takes too long to cool down, it can help to turn on recirculate air, but don't leave this on forever as there's no fresh air coming in. Also make sure the temp is set to lowest and fans set to high, and select face level vents. I think you're supposed to keep the windows closed too but I heard it can help to just crack them open to allow fresh air in, so you could try that if all else fails.
