hi,
i recently had my air con regassed, and it works but not as cold as is should be is there anything else i can do, ie: filters, to make it colder. if i'm stuck in traffic it is not very cold but when i'm driving on a good run it seems to get much colder. any help will be greatly appreciated

many thanks

possibly your radiator being blocked? i.e. the air con rad? or your air con fan not kicking in properly so when it's stationary it's too warm but on a run it's not used anyway therfore better. i believe these are clutch type fans? not sure tho so someone else will confirm.
cheers

Get a thermometer and check the air temp off the air vent. I would expect to see at least 8 degrees.
