A/C Repair Service for Your Jaguar XJ6

Few things are worse than a broken car air conditioner on a hot summer day. Your steering wheel feels like lava. That puddle in the driver’s seat? Sweat. Ugh. “Who can fix my Jaguar XJ6 A/C?” you wonder, as the sun beats through the windshield. Firestone Complete Auto Care can! We know our way around Jaguar vehicles, and our qualified technicians can diagnose and service the A/C system in your 1996 Jaguar. Steer your Jaguar XJ6 to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care

In this A/C performance inspection, we’ll check out the current condition of your 1996 Jaguar XJ6 A/C system to determine whether repair work is needed. 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 XJ6 A/C system that can detect any refrigerant fumes that might be leaking out from the system. If there's a leak, we'll find it and fix it.

Recharge the A/C in Your XJ6

When we perform an A/C repair on your 1996 Jaguar XJ6, 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. 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 the technician tests the cool blast for themselves, you’re good to go. Our technicians are trained to efficiently perform 1996 Jaguar XJ6 A/C recharges.

Other 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. Typical A/C problems also 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. 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 1996 Jaguar XJ6? 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 technicians will work to solve your A/C problems to the best of their ability. We’re here to help you get back on the road in your XJ6 — without all the sweat puddles!

1996 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.
  • What’s making my XJ6 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 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.
  • Does the A/C in my XJ6 rely on 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 XJ6.
  • What can cause the A/C in my XJ6 to 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.
  • What is causing my XJ6’s A/C to only work when the car is in motion? Damaged or worn components in your XJ6’s electrical or air conditioning system can cause the A/C to only work when the car is moving. You may be dealing with low coolant or a faulty cooling fan.
