MK6 questions about A/C

Hi all. I have had my 90TSI Golf Wagon for a few years. Love it, one thing I have always hated the air conditioner isn't as cold as I expect. I have checked the piping is getting super cold in engine bay and when I put a thermometer into vent its at 7 degrees C, which is cold. But it doesn't get super cold in the cabin. The fans work perfectly

Is this normal? I am just worried I have read all the horror stories of compressors dying, but mine still blows coolish air, but not icy cold air. Even though in the vent the temp is just above freezing

I haven't driven lots of VW's, but have done other Euro's are they get icy cold. All the Japanese cars I've had get super cold from the moment you start the car.

Any thoughts?
