AC problem in peugeot 2008

Hey,
In the last two weeks I have encountered a rather special problem and would like advice.
About two weeks ago I started having very loud noises every time I turned on the air conditioner (the air conditioner still worked great but there was a loud noise)
I went into the garage the next day and was told I needed to replace the compressor.
I replaced a compressor (for a refurbished compressor because there was no new one available), everything was quiet and working properly but a different phenomenon started: every time the temperature outside was high ... the air conditioner takes out boiling air in the first 15-20 minutes of work
And only then begins to take out cold air. (This is not about cooling the vehicle it's about starting to take out cold air) As if the compressor is not working or something like that.
This phenomenon is repeated only when it is really hot outside, when I turn on the air conditioning in the morning or in the evening the air conditioner within seconds cools the vehicle as before.
I returned with the vehicle to the garage where I replaced the compressor and the mechanic added gas but the problem was not solved.
Help please

The first problem was when it made noise you should have defeated the compressor so it couldn't self destruct. Oil in systems quits moving, by the time you hear it mean do it yesterday - bummer.
Ditto with Hammer on the remanufactured units I know some are near impossible to find new.
Doesn't matter for the moment but now seems like it's lost some charge/weight of refrigerant about to do this all over again.
This is a tough segment of the automotive repair trade not for even every shop/garage you may know of really is worthy of being its own specialty. Look for that where you get repairs.
Peugeot quit selling cars to the US long ago now so no other details would be possible for a US based site. Still popular I'm sure hunt for new next time and the reason is leaked is the most likely reason still,
