A/C Repair Service for Your 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. That puddle in the driver’s seat? Sweat. Ugh. You wipe your brow and wonder, "Who can fix the A/C in my Jaguar Vanden Plas?" Easy — Firestone Complete Auto Care! We’ve got experience with Jaguar vehicles, and our trained technicians can identify and repair issues with 1988 Jaguar A/C systems. Bring your Jaguar Vanden Plas to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care

In this A/C performance inspection, we’ll check out the current condition of your 1988 Jaguar Vanden Plas A/C system to determine whether repair work is needed. This check will include an examination of system pressure, a visual inspection, and a leak test. If we think there might be a leak, we'll run a special U/V dye through the system or use a "sniffer." 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 there's a leak, we'll find it and fix it.

Vanden Plas A/C Recharge

When we perform an A/C repair on your 1988 Jaguar Vanden Plas, we’ll also do an A/C evacuation and recharge. To start this process, a technician will flush out the old refrigerant from your vehicle’s A/C system. Next, they will evacuate the system according to Jaguar's recommendations. The A/C system is recharged with new refrigerant and after one final test to be sure the system is cooling properly, you’re all set. We want you to be comfortable in your car, so we train our technicians to perform 1988 Jaguar Vanden Plas A/C recharges.

Common Jaguar Vanden Plas A/C Problems

You may think warm air is the only potential Jaguar Vanden Plas A/C problem you’ll have, but you may notice other issues, too. Another common A/C problem is weak airflow, which could be caused by mold or mildew buildup, a loose hose, an old ventilation fan, or a compromised seal. If you notice that your A/C system’s air is cold at first, then quickly goes warm, this may suggest a leak, a blown fuse, or a damaged compressor clutch. What about those (somewhat unpleasant!) smells coming through the A/C vents in your 1988 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. Don’t sweat it — we’re here to help you chill out again in your Vanden Plas.

Questions About 1988 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.
  • Why is my Vanden Plas A/C blowing hot air? If your car’s air conditioning isn’t blowing cold air at all (or it tries, then turns warm), you could have a clogged expansion valve, a faulty compressor clutch, a leak, or a malfunctioning fuse in the system.
  • How does my A/C system get a leak? 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 running the A/C in my Vanden Plas use gasoline?  The air conditioning system in your Vanden Plas does not use gasoline directly as a fuel source, but it does require some power from the engine, which indirectly affects your car's fuel consumption.
  • Why does the A/C in my Vanden Plas smell like vinegar? 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.
  • 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.
