Blows hot and cold. More hot than cold, but when car is going slow or at idle blows much colder. So if you speed up from idle starts blowing hotter. Any ideas why it does this?

It's a convertible. There's the problem. Close the top.

Not sure on a Volvo. If I had to guess I'd say vacuum leak though

When's the last time you had the refrigerant recharged?

They can be hard to find. If it's vacuum operated it'll be a minor leak (cracked hose,leaking diaphragm).
