How do you remove the radiator from a Jaguar?
Seal the oil cooler inlet pipe and the oil cooler using suitable plugs. Remove the radiator support beam. CAUTION: Apply suitable tape to the right hand side lower section of the front bumper to prevent damage to the paintwork from the air conditioning pipe when the cooling module is lowered.
Why is my air con leaking in my Jaguar?
Accordingly, when there is a leak, the area usually looks wet with oil. This is a large ‘radiator’ mounted in front of the engine coolant radiator, which cools the hot refrigerant gas enough to cause it to condense to a liquid. Due to its position it tends to be most damaged by stones thrown up from the road and by corrosion.
How does the air con work on a Jaguar A6?
Later A6 installations used a pressure switch in the same location on the backplate of the compressor which open-circuited the clutch drive if the pressure of refrigerant gas fell below a certain point (about 100psi). In either case, the compressor will not run again until the gas has been re-charged.
How to remove and replace the air conditioner compressor?
In this video we are going to show you what you need to do in order to replace the A/C Compressor on Jaguar X Type. It is not very complicated procedure. The serpentine belt might give you some hard time because it is very limited room and you need to find a ratchet that will fit the serpentine belt tensioner.
Seal the oil cooler inlet pipe and the oil cooler using suitable plugs. Remove the radiator support beam. CAUTION: Apply suitable tape to the right hand side lower section of the front bumper to prevent damage to the paintwork from the air conditioning pipe when the cooling module is lowered.
What does the condensor do on a Jaguar?
CONDENSOR – This is the thin radiator in front of your engine’s radiator. At this point, the refrigerant is extremely hot and under high pressure–80 to 300 psi, depending on the environmental conditions. The condenser acts as a radiator, removing heat from the refrigerant, and in the process, changing it from a gas to a liquid.
How does the air conditioning work in a Jaguar?
The evaporator core absorbs heat from the inside of the car, sort of like a radiator in reverse. It does this when the blower fans blow warm air over the evaporator core. Once the system is in operation, the heat absorbed by the evaporator core is transferred to the refrigerant at the moment of evaporation.
Where to put the air conditioner compressor on a JAG?
Several people, including Victor Naumann and Harry Trafford, have pointed out that a block of wood positioned between the V and the top of the radiator can be very helpful to hold the compressor forward and above its normal position while you’re working.
