A/C Repair Service for Your Jaguar XJ6

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. “Who can fix my Jaguar XJ6 A/C?” you wonder, as the sun beats through the windshield. Easy — Firestone Complete Auto Care! We know Jaguar vehicles, and our trained technicians can identify and repair issues with 1987 Jaguar A/C systems. Come to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care in your Jaguar XJ6

In this A/C performance inspection, we’ll check out the current condition of your 1987 Jaguar XJ6 A/C system to see if repair work is required. This check includes a visual inspection, performance test, and pressure and leak test. 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 identify points where refrigerant fumes could be escaping the system. If there's a leak, we'll find it and fix it.

XJ6 A/C Recharge

When we perform an A/C repair on your 1987 Jaguar XJ6, we’ll also do an A/C evacuation and recharge. To do this, one of our technicians will remove the refrigerant in your A/C system (if there is even any left to remove). 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 we’ve done a final test on the system ourselves, you’re all set. Our technicians know how to keep your A/C in tip-top shape with 1987 Jaguar XJ6 A/C recharges.

Troubleshooting Jaguar XJ6 A/C Problems

Warm air isn't the only Jaguar XJ6 A/C problem you may encounter. Typical A/C problems also 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. 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 1987 Jaguar XJ6? That could be the result of a dirty cabin air filter (an easy fix!) or a moldy evaporator case. 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 XJ6 — without all the sweat puddles!

1987 Jaguar XJ6 A/C System FAQs

  • 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? 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 XJ6's A/C system.
  • Is my XJ6 A/C powered by gas?  The air conditioning system in your XJ6 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 XJ6 smell like vinegar? If the air conditioning in your XJ6 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 XJ6’s A/C to only work when the car is in motion? If your A/C only works when the vehicle is moving, there could be a problem with part of your XJ6’s A/C or electrical system. Potential issues include low coolant or a faulty cooling fan.
