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?

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.

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.

Is my Vanden Plas A/C powered by 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.

What can cause the A/C in my Vanden Plas to smell like vinegar?

It’s easy for moisture to accumulate in your car’s air conditioning system, which can cause microorganisms like bacteria to grow. In turn, this bacteria growth can cause the A/C in your Vanden Plas to produce a vinegary odor.

Why does my vehicle have to be moving for my Vanden Plas’s A/C to work?

If your A/C only works when the vehicle is moving, there could be a problem with part of your Vanden Plas’s A/C or electrical system. Potential issues include low coolant or a faulty cooling fan.

Jaguar Vanden Plas A/C Repair

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. Sweat soaks 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’ve got experience with Jaguar vehicles, and our technicians are qualified to diagnose and repair 1999 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 1999 Jaguar Vanden Plas’s A/C system to see if repair work is required. This check will include an examination of system pressure, a visual inspection, and a 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.” 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 detect refrigerant fumes escaping from the system. If your system has a leak, we can get it fixed.

A/C Recharge for Jaguar Vanden Plas

While your 1999 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. To finish, we’ll add new refrigerant to recharge the A/C system, 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 1999 Jaguar Vanden Plas A/C recharges.

Other 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. Other common A/C problems include weak airflow, which could mean you have a compromised seal, mildew or mold buildup, a loose or damaged hose, or a ventilation fan that needs to be replaced. 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. What about those (somewhat unpleasant!) smells coming through the A/C vents in your 1999 Jaguar Vanden Plas? That could be the result of a dirty cabin air filter (an easy fix!) or a moldy evaporator case. Our trained technicians will do what they can to solve your A/C problems. So, chill out. We're here to help you get the blast back in your Vanden Plas’s A/C!
