Default S40 a/c problems. Possible divorce....... :o/

Hey , I have issue thats driving me n uts. Car has been with garage for third time now. Climate control is not working properly. Different temperatures of air are coming out of vents. One vent is hot, while the other is cold. PLEASE help, the wife has just been given the green light to drive (complicated labour) and the car is still with garage being diagnosed. HELP!! It's as-though the air con is trying to blow cool air, but the hot air is also blasting out. Comments please................ please cc chrisbh77@hotmail on your advice. Regards, Chris
