V40 A/C problem... S40-V40

I have a 2001 V40 and the A/C is giving me a problem. When I'm driving, at speed, it blows cold but, when I'm at idle or say in traffic, it starts blowing warm air and the engine temperature starts rising. My guess is that one of the cooling fans aren't working properly. If I'm correct in my guess, the cooling fan on the left side of engine(driver's side)is for the A/C while the R.S. is engine cooling? I realize that the engine cooling fan is on after a certain engine coolant temp. is reached and it looks to be operating properly(from my observations) but, shouldn't the L.S. cooling fan be on anytime the A/C is operating? Thanks for your time... Brian

V40 A/C problem... S40-V40

The smaller of the 2 fans is the one for the aircon.
On my 98 v40 in Great Britain (r/h drive) it's the one on the drivers side,right side looking from the back.
