      Thanks to arcadelt , s9008v and Passat my07 all for your replies.
      I had the car checked out today and the diagnosis was a faulty valve within the compressor which was not serviceable and was advised that a complete compressor replacement was required.
      Upon further digging I found some useful info here so might give this a go.

        You should be able to get the valve if you look around. You need to know which compressor you have though.

          Extremely happy to report that the control valve was the culprit.
          Comp (Sanden PXE16) is ok and system was tested leakfree
          Air temp at the vents is now 3°C and BING BING on the nipple meter.
          Thanks again to all that responded.
