A/C Repair Service for Your Jaguar Vanden Plas

There’s nothing worse than cranking your car air conditioner on a hot day — and discovering it’s broken. Is that a hot stove? Nope, just your steering wheel. That puddle in the driver’s seat? Sweat. Ugh. You take a deep breath and ask yourself, “Who can fix my Jaguar Vanden Plas A/C?” Firestone Complete Auto Care can! We know our way around Jaguar vehicles, and our qualified technicians can diagnose and service the A/C system in your 1983 Jaguar. Come to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care in your Jaguar Vanden Plas

In this A/C performance inspection, we’ll check out the current condition of your 1983 Jaguar Vanden Plas A/C system to determine whether repair work is needed. We’ll test overall system performance, check for any leaks, and measure the system pressure. If we suspect a leak, we’ll send a U/V dye through your A/C system or use a “sniffer” to find the leak. A "sniffer" is a machine that's run along parts of your Jaguar Vanden Plas A/C system that can identify points where refrigerant fumes could be escaping the system. If your system has a leak, we can get it fixed.

Vanden Plas A/C Recharge

While your 1983 Jaguar Vanden Plas’s air conditioner is being serviced, we’ll also do an A/C evacuation and recharge. During this process, a technician will remove the old refrigerant from the A/C system. Then, they’ll perform an evacuation (also known as a discharge) on the entire system per Jaguar guidelines. The A/C system is recharged with new refrigerant and once we’ve done a final test on the system ourselves, you’re good to go. Our technicians know how to keep your A/C in tip-top shape with 1983 Jaguar Vanden Plas A/C recharges.

Troubleshooting Jaguar Vanden Plas A/C Problems

Hot air is a common Jaguar Vanden Plas A/C problem, but it’s not the only issue you might encounter. Typical A/C problems also include weak airflow, which could be caused by mold or mildew buildup, a loose hose, an old ventilation fan, or a compromised seal. If your A/C system blows cold air first but then it turns warm, this may suggest a leak, a blown fuse, or a damaged compressor clutch. Are you breathing in some “interesting” new odors in your 1983 Jaguar Vanden Plas? That could be the result of a dirty cabin air filter (an easy fix!) or a moldy evaporator case. Our technicians will work to solve your A/C problems to the best of their ability. So, chill out. We're here to help you get the blast back in your Vanden Plas’s A/C!

Frequently Asked Questions for 1983 Jaguar Vanden Plas A/C Systems

  • Can I make my Vanden Plas air conditioner colder? Park in the shade whenever you can, and use a reflective sunshade in the windshield when you’re parked. If you’re the only one in the car, close all the vents except the ones that point toward you. Give the system the final boost it needs with an A/C performance check and recharge from Firestone Complete Auto Care.
  • What’s making my Vanden Plas A/C put out warm air? An A/C blowing hot air has several possible root causes. There could be an issue with your compressor clutch, a blown fuse, a leak, or a clog in the expansion valve.
  • What can cause an A/C system leak? Over the years, the rubber seals and gaskets in your Vanden Plas’s A/C system naturally degrade. Moisture can get into the system and cause a malfunction, or parts can simply wear out so that your system no longer seals properly.
  •  Does running the A/C in my Vanden Plas use gasoline? Your Vanden Plas’s A/C uses some power from the engine to run. So, while your air conditioning system may not directly use gasoline as a fuel source, using the A/C can indirectly affect your vehicle’s fuel efficiency.
  • My Vanden Plas’s A/C smells like vinegar! What can cause that? If the air conditioning in your Vanden Plas smells like vinegar, it could be due to bacteria growth on system components such as the evaporator and heater cores. Bacteria can grow when moisture accumulates on air conditioning system components, providing a breeding ground for microorganisms.
  • Why does my vehicle have to be moving for my Vanden Plas’s A/C to work? Damaged or worn components in your Vanden Plas’s electrical or air conditioning system can cause the A/C to only work when the car is moving. You may be dealing with low coolant or a faulty cooling fan.
