A/C Service for Jaguar Vanden Plas

When you get in the car on a hot summer day, the last thing you want is a broken air conditioner. Is that a hot stove? Nope, just your steering wheel. Sweat soaks the driver's seat. “Who can fix my Jaguar Vanden Plas A/C?” you wonder, as the sun beats through the windshield. Firestone Complete Auto Care — that’s who! We know Jaguar vehicles, and our technicians are qualified to diagnose and repair 1985 Jaguar Vanden Plas A/C systems. Come to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care in your Jaguar Vanden Plas

During an A/C performance check, we'll determine the condition of your 1985 Jaguar Vanden Plas A/C system to evaluate what repairs are necessary (if any). This check includes a visual inspection, performance test, and pressure and leak test. If any signs point to a possible leak, we’ll send a special U/V dye through the system, or use something called a “sniffer.” A “sniffer” isn’t a technician with a good nose! It’s a machine that’s used on different parts of your Jaguar Vanden Plas A/C system to detect refrigerant fumes escaping from the system. If there's a leak, we'll find it and fix it.

A/C Recharge for Jaguar Vanden Plas

When we perform an A/C repair on your 1985 Jaguar Vanden Plas, we’ll also do an A/C evacuation and recharge. To do this, one of our technicians will remove the refrigerant in your A/C system (if there is even any left to remove). Then, they’ll use Jaguar’s specifications to evacuate the system. Finally, we’ll recharge the A/C system with new refrigerant and after one final test to be sure the system is cooling properly, you’re good to go. Our technicians know how to keep your A/C in tip-top shape with 1985 Jaguar Vanden Plas A/C recharges.

Other Jaguar Vanden Plas A/C Problems

Warm air isn't the only Jaguar Vanden Plas A/C problem you may encounter. Another common A/C problem is weak airflow, which could indicate an old ventilation fan, a seal or hose that needs replacing, or mold buildup in your A/C system. An A/C system that starts off blowing cold air but then turns warm may suggest a leak, a blown fuse, or a damaged compressor clutch. Are you breathing in some “interesting” new odors in your 1985 Jaguar Vanden Plas? This can mean you have mold in your evaporator case, or it may indicate that it’s time to change your cabin air filter. Our technicians will work to solve your A/C problems to the best of their ability. We’re here to help you get back on the road in your Vanden Plas — without all the sweat puddles!

Frequently Asked Questions for 1985 Jaguar Vanden Plas A/C Systems

  • How 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 causes A/C system leaks? A/C system leaks are often due to a combination of age and moisture. Rubber seals and gaskets naturally degrade over time, allowing refrigerant to exit and moisture to enter your Vanden Plas's A/C system.
  • Does my Vanden Plas A/C run on gas? Vanden Plas air conditioning systems don’t use gasoline as a direct fuel source. However, they do rely on engine power, which can indirectly affect your vehicle’s gas mileage.
  • My Vanden Plas’s A/C smells like vinegar! What can cause that? If a vinegar-like odor comes from your A/C, bacteria growth could be the culprit. Moisture accumulation in the air conditioning system of your Vanden Plas creates a breeding environment for microorganisms.
  • What is causing my Vanden Plas’s A/C to only work when the car is in motion? A problem with one or more of your air conditioning or electrical system components could cause the A/C to only work when your Vanden Plas is moving. You may be low on refrigerant, or the cooling fan could be faulty.
