This might not help alot, but in my aircon, the temperature sensor seems to be a bit off, so you need to set the control temperature a way down to get the cold on properly. Have you tried this?

I have it set to 17.00 it is cold alright but the speed of the fan seems slow to most cars I have had in the past.

Topcat,

There is a black pipe at the rear of the centre console, right side, this needs to be connected to ensure the temp is controlled correctly.

As regards fan speed does the speed increase up through eash increment on the controller.
