Are you accelerating when the AC cuts out? My 98 V70 T5 very similar car just started doing this occasionally but only when it is very hot out and it happens when I accelerate. I'm suspecting it is the AC relay because many modern cars are set up to turn off the AC compressor when at at full throttle. Mine has been doing this occasionally at moderate, even light throttle and does not come back on. Sometimes gunning the gas and letting off quickly restores the AC for me.

I've had my V70 for a little over 4 years with no AC problems regardless of outside temp. This just popped up recently.

How is your temp gauge reading? Right at mid-range or a little high?
