How do I make my Vanden Plas air conditioning colder?

Here are a few quick ideas. Shut the passenger air vents and point the other vents directly toward you. Park your car in the shade and use a window sun blocker. Then visit Firestone Complete Auto Care for an A/C performance check and recharge.

Why do I get hot air from my Vanden Plas A/C?

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?

To put it simply, age and moisture are some of the main causes of leaks in your A/C. Over time, rubber gaskets and seals can wear out, which pushes much-needed refrigerant out of your Vanden Plas’s A/C system — and lets outside moisture get in, which can take a toll on internal A/C components.

Does running the A/C in my Vanden Plas use gasoline?

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.

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.

Why does my Vanden Plas’s A/C only work when the car is moving?

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.

A/C Service for 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. 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 know Jaguar vehicles, and our trained technicians can identify and repair issues with 2000 Jaguar A/C systems. Steer your Jaguar Vanden Plas to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care

In this A/C performance inspection, we’ll check out the current condition of your 2000 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 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" is a machine that's run along parts of your Jaguar Vanden Plas A/C system that can detect any refrigerant fumes that might be leaking out from the system. If your A/C system has a leak, we’ll find and repair it.

Vanden Plas A/C Recharge

Let's say we repair your 2000 Jaguar Vanden Plas A/C system. We will also perform 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. Then, they’ll use Jaguar’s specifications to evacuate the system. 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. We want you to be comfortable in your car, so we train our technicians to perform 2000 Jaguar Vanden Plas A/C recharges.

Common 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 can mean there’s a malfunctioning compressor clutch, a leak, or a blown fuse. Are you breathing in some “interesting” new odors in your 2000 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 trained technicians will do what they can to solve your A/C problems. Don’t sweat it — we’re here to help you chill out again in your Vanden Plas.
