Default Sounds like the A/C clutch

A/C clutch does not engage due to wear.
We have a 2008 s40 doing the same thing.
Blows for 10-30 minutes depending on how hot, then nothing but warm air.
After letting it rest for a while start over again.
Hopefully soon to be fixed.

Sounds like the shim problem.
