A/C Service for Jaguar XJ8

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. Your skin sticks to the driver’s seat. You take a deep breath and ask yourself, “Who can fix my Jaguar XJ8 A/C?” Easy — Firestone Complete Auto Care! We know our way around Jaguar vehicles, and our qualified technicians can diagnose and service the A/C system in your 1999 Jaguar. Steer your Jaguar XJ8 to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care

In this A/C performance inspection, we’ll check out the current condition of your 1999 Jaguar XJ8 A/C system to evaluate what repairs are necessary (if any). This check includes a visual inspection, performance test, and pressure and 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” isn’t a technician with a good nose! It’s a machine that’s used on different parts of your Jaguar XJ8 A/C system to detect refrigerant fumes escaping from the system. If your system has a leak, we can get it fixed.

XJ8 A/C Recharge

Let's say we repair your 1999 Jaguar XJ8 A/C system. We will also perform 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 ready to get back on the road. Our technicians know how to keep your A/C in tip-top shape with 1999 Jaguar XJ8 A/C recharges.

Troubleshooting Jaguar XJ8 A/C Problems

Hot air is a common Jaguar XJ8 A/C problem, but it’s not the only issue you might encounter. Another common A/C problem is weak airflow, which could be caused by mold or mildew buildup, a loose hose, an old ventilation fan, or a compromised seal. An A/C system that starts off blowing cold air but then turns warm can mean there’s a malfunctioning compressor clutch, a leak, or a blown fuse. What about those (somewhat unpleasant!) smells coming through the A/C vents in your 1999 Jaguar XJ8? You could have a moldy evaporator case, or you may simply need a new cabin air filter installed. Our trained technicians will do what they can to solve your A/C problems. We’re here to help you get back on the road in your XJ8 — without all the sweat puddles!

Questions About 1999 Jaguar XJ8 A/C Systems

  • How can I make my XJ8 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 XJ8 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.
  • How does my A/C system get a 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 XJ8's A/C system.
  • Does the A/C in my XJ8 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 XJ8.
  • My XJ8’s A/C smells like vinegar! What can cause that? It’s easy for moisture to accumulate in your car’s air conditioning system, which can cause microorganisms like bacteria to grow. In turn, this bacteria growth can cause the A/C in your XJ8 to produce a vinegary odor.
  • Why does my vehicle have to be moving for my XJ8’s A/C to work? A problem with one or more of your air conditioning or electrical system components could cause the A/C to only work when your XJ8 is moving. You may be low on refrigerant, or the cooling fan could be faulty.
