Default AC Cold then Hot 2001 S60 2.4T

I have searched to see if anyone has this problem but I did not find anything. The AC will be cool and all of a sudden it starts blowing warm. It seems to happen if I am in park or stopped for a extended period of time. I can restart the engine and it will be cool again. I haven't heard the engine fan run in some time. There were several occasions last year when I returned to the car when It was hot and the blower for the AC/Heat was running. I have not heard that this year, could these problems be related? All help is appreciated

The compressor clutch may need to be reshimmed.

Tech, Reshimmed? I guess you mean the AC compressor. Is this something I could do?Any reason why I haven't heard the cooling fan for the engine or the fan for the cabin that has come on in the past while I was out of the car? I don't know if this maters but since the MAF was fixed the AC has been fine. This could just be coincidence Huh? Thanks for any info.

The blower running after being parked is normal. Honestly I think you might need a service done on the ac compressor like Tech said, but it could be the little pressure valve that keeps the AC from getting too cold, that is possibly stuck open.

Yes the compressor clutch may need to be reshimmed you should be able to handle it if you are handy.

Thanks again Tech now I need your help again. I just replaced the MAF and the car was running fine for about a week, now I have another check engine light. I will try to get the code and let you know to see if you can help me as you have done so graciously in the past.
