How can I make my XJR 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 XJR A/C?

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?

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 XJR’s A/C system — and lets outside moisture get in, which can take a toll on internal A/C components.

Is my XJR A/C powered by 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 XJR.

My XJR’s A/C smells like vinegar! What can cause that?

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 XJR creates a breeding environment for microorganisms.

Why does my XJR’s A/C only work when the car is moving?

There could be issues with one or more components in the air conditioning or electrical system. Your XJR may have a faulty cooling fan or low refrigerant.

A/C Repair Service for Your Jaguar XJR

Few things are worse than a broken car air conditioner on a hot summer day. Your steering wheel feels like lava. Your skin sticks to the driver’s seat. “Who can fix my Jaguar XJR A/C?” you wonder, as the sun beats through the windshield. Easy — Firestone Complete Auto Care! We know Jaguar vehicles, and our qualified technicians can diagnose and service the A/C system in your 2006 Jaguar. Bring your Jaguar XJR to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care

In this A/C performance inspection, we’ll check out the current condition of your 2006 Jaguar XJR 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" is a machine that's run along parts of your Jaguar XJR A/C system that can detect refrigerant fumes escaping from the system. If your system has a leak, we can get it fixed.

XJR A/C Recharge

While your 2006 Jaguar XJR’s air conditioner is being serviced, we’ll also do 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 all set. We want you to be comfortable in your car, so we train our technicians to perform 2006 Jaguar XJR A/C recharges.

Other Jaguar XJR A/C Problems

Hot air is a common Jaguar XJR A/C problem, but it’s not the only issue you might encounter. Typical A/C problems also include 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 may be due to a clogged expansion valve, faulty compressor clutch, blown fuse, or leak. And smelly A/C in a 2006 Jaguar XJR? 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 XJR — without all the sweat puddles!
