A/C Repair Service for Your Jaguar Vanden Plas

Few things are worse than a broken car air conditioner on a hot summer day. Your steering wheel feels like lava. Your skin sticks to the driver’s seat. You take a deep breath and ask yourself, “Who can fix my Jaguar Vanden Plas A/C?” Easy — Firestone Complete Auto Care! We know Jaguar vehicles, and our technicians are qualified to diagnose and repair 1996 Jaguar Vanden Plas A/C systems. Steer your Jaguar Vanden Plas to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care

During this initial A/C performance check, we’ll look at the state of your 1996 Jaguar Vanden Plas’s A/C system to see if repair work is required. We’ll test overall system performance, check for any leaks, and measure the system pressure. If we think there might be a leak, we'll run a special U/V dye through the system or use a "sniffer." What’s a “sniffer,” you ask? It’s a specially designed machine that’s used on parts of your Jaguar Vanden Plas A/C system to 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

When we perform an A/C repair on your 1996 Jaguar Vanden Plas, 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. Next, they will evacuate the system according to Jaguar's recommendations. To finish, we’ll add new refrigerant to recharge the A/C system, and once the technician tests the cool blast for themselves, you’re good to go. Our technicians are trained to efficiently perform 1996 Jaguar Vanden Plas A/C recharges.

Troubleshooting Jaguar Vanden Plas A/C Problems

Warm air isn't the only Jaguar Vanden Plas A/C problem you may encounter. Other common A/C problems include weak airflow, which could indicate an old ventilation fan, a seal or hose that needs replacing, or mold buildup in your A/C system. If you notice that your A/C system’s air is cold at first, then quickly goes warm, this may be due to a clogged expansion valve, faulty compressor clutch, blown fuse, or leak. What about those (somewhat unpleasant!) smells coming through the A/C vents in your 1996 Jaguar Vanden Plas? You could have a moldy evaporator case, or you may simply need a new cabin air filter installed. 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!

Questions About 1996 Jaguar Vanden Plas A/C Systems

  • Can I make my Vanden Plas air conditioner colder? For starters, use a sun-blocking shade in the windshield while you’re parked, or look for a shady parking spot. Closing all the passenger vents in your car can help redirect cold air toward you, cooling you off faster. Still need more chill? Head to Firestone Complete Auto Care for an A/C performance check and recharge.
  • Why do I get hot air from my Vanden Plas A/C? 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 the A/C in my Vanden Plas rely on gas? While your vehicle’s A/C system doesn’t directly use fuel, it does draw power from the engine, which can impact the fuel consumption of your Vanden Plas.
  • 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? There could be issues with one or more components in the air conditioning or electrical system. Your Vanden Plas may have a faulty cooling fan or low refrigerant.
