A/C Service for Jaguar XJ6

There’s nothing worse than cranking your car air conditioner on a hot day — and discovering it’s broken. Your steering wheel feels like it's burning your hands. Sweat soaks the driver's seat. You take a deep breath and ask yourself, “Who can fix my Jaguar XJ6 A/C?” Firestone Complete Auto Care — that’s who! We’ve got experience with Jaguar vehicles, and our qualified technicians can diagnose and service the A/C system in your 1986 Jaguar. Steer your Jaguar XJ6 to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care

During an A/C performance check, we'll determine the condition of your 1986 Jaguar XJ6 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 suspect a leak, we’ll send a U/V dye through your A/C system or use a “sniffer” to find the leak. A “sniffer” isn’t a technician with a good nose! It’s a machine that’s used on different parts of your Jaguar XJ6 A/C system to detect refrigerant fumes escaping from the system. If your system has a leak, we can get it fixed.

XJ6 A/C Recharge

While your 1986 Jaguar XJ6’s air conditioner is being serviced, 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. 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 once we’ve done a final test on the system ourselves, you’re good to go. Our technicians know how to keep your A/C in tip-top shape with 1986 Jaguar XJ6 A/C recharges.

Common Jaguar XJ6 A/C Problems

You may think warm air is the only potential Jaguar XJ6 A/C problem you’ll have, but you may notice other issues, too. Other common A/C problems include weak airflow, which could be caused by mold or mildew buildup, a loose hose, an old ventilation fan, or a compromised seal. If your A/C system blows cold air first but then it turns warm, this may suggest a leak, a blown fuse, or a damaged compressor clutch. And smelly A/C in a 1986 Jaguar XJ6? 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. Don’t sweat it — we’re here to help you chill out again in your XJ6.

Questions About 1986 Jaguar XJ6 A/C Systems

  • How can I make my XJ6 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 do I get hot air from my XJ6 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 can cause an A/C system 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 XJ6’s A/C system — and lets outside moisture get in, which can take a toll on internal A/C components.
  • Does my XJ6 A/C use gas? XJ6 air conditioning systems don’t use gasoline as a direct fuel source. However, they do rely on engine power, which can indirectly affect your vehicle’s gas mileage.
  • Why does the A/C in my XJ6 smell like vinegar? Moisture can accumulate on your vehicle’s A/C system components, creating the perfect breeding ground for bacteria. As this bacteria grows, it can cause the air conditioning system in your XJ6 to have a vinegar-like smell.
  • Why does my vehicle have to be moving for my XJ6’s A/C to work? There could be issues with one or more components in the air conditioning or electrical system. Your XJ6 may have a faulty cooling fan or low refrigerant.
