How do I make my XJ12 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 is my XJ12 A/C blowing hot 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 can cause an A/C system leak?

Over the years, the rubber seals and gaskets in your XJ12’s A/C system naturally degrade. Moisture can get into the system and cause a malfunction, or parts can simply wear out so that your system no longer seals properly.

Does running the A/C in my XJ12 use gasoline?

The air conditioning system in your XJ12 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 XJ12 smell like vinegar?

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 XJ12 creates a breeding environment for microorganisms.

Why does my XJ12’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 XJ12’s A/C or electrical system. Potential issues include low coolant or a faulty cooling fan.

You take a deep breath and ask yourself, “Who can fix my Jaguar XJ12 A/C?” Firestone Complete Auto Care — that’s who! We know our way around Jaguar vehicles, and our trained technicians can identify and repair issues with 1995 Jaguar A/C systems. Bring your Jaguar XJ12 to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care

In this A/C performance inspection, we’ll check out the current condition of your 1995 Jaguar XJ12 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 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 XJ12 A/C system that can detect refrigerant fumes escaping from the system. If there's a leak, we'll find it and fix it.

Recharge the A/C in Your XJ12

Let's say we repair your 1995 Jaguar XJ12 A/C system. We will also perform 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. Finally, we’ll recharge the A/C system with new refrigerant and once we’ve done a final test on the system ourselves, you’re good to go. We want you to be comfortable in your car, so we train our technicians to perform 1995 Jaguar XJ12 A/C recharges.

Troubleshooting Jaguar XJ12 A/C Problems

Warm air isn't the only Jaguar XJ12 A/C problem you may encounter. Another common A/C problem is 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. Are you breathing in some “interesting” new odors in your 1995 Jaguar XJ12? This can mean you have mold in your evaporator case, or it may indicate that it’s time to change your cabin air filter. Technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care are ready to help you address your A/C problems. We’re here to help you get back on the road in your XJ12 — without all the sweat puddles!
