Why is the air con on my Jaguar not cooling?
Initially the problem was traced to a tiny hole in one of the pipes which was repaired, the system recharged and all seemed fine. However, with the recent warm weather the air con does not seem to be cooling again, in fact sometimes it actually blows warm air.
What does it mean when AC blows hot air on one side?
AC Blows Hot or Cold Air on One Side with Clicking Sound. If you experience the symptom of the AC blowing hot or cold air on one side but not the other and it’s accompanied by a clicking or ticking sound, it probably means a gear in the temperature blend door actuator is faulty and the actuator needs to be replaced.
Why is the air con on my JAG indie not working?

Why does the a / C blow cold but warm drivers?
The problem I have is that when you turn the ac on the cool air only comes out the 2 vents on the passenger side. The 2 vents on the drivers side have warm air blowing out. A/C is controls are set to max air and max cold on the temp control. Answer: Most common problem is a bad temperature door actuator if it does have dual zone A/C.
Why is my Jaguar S-type drawing too much current?
Both of its solenoids were drawing too much current (one of which was tested at over 6 amps, an 850% over-current condition!): There is no over-current fault-protection circuitry that protects it against damage due to faulty Heater Valve. This applies to S-Types from (late 2002) through 2008.
What causes a Jaguar climate control to fail?
When the Heater Valve becomes faulty, it begins to draw too much current, which causes the Climate Control Module to become damaged (i.e. failure due to over-current condition). 4. Harness/wiring problems between the Heater Valve and Climate Control Module. 5. Failure at one or more air mixing/blending flaps. 6. Or a combination of the above cases.

Why is my Jaguar XK8 air con not cooling?
Any help/suggestions welcome. Both my 2001 XK8 and 2004 XKR could get uncomfortably cold (as does my current 5.0 XKR) if you turned the temp down, so it definitely sounds as if you have a problem with yours. Are you using a reliable air-con specialist?
How often does the aircon go down in a Jaguar?
In theory the refrigerant should only go down around 5% a year so it might not be lack of refrigerant thats the issue, pressure sensor is a known issue and there is even a Jaguar bulletin about the sensor. https://www.cars.com/articles/2010-2016-jaguar-ac-issues-1420681139395/
What kind of suspension does a Jaguar XJ6 have?

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.
Why does my Jaguar air conditioner need to be removed?
Any moisture in the system will freeze up at the expansion valve and will clog the system, so it has to be removed. Then, it’s back to the compressor, and the cycle starts over. Remember, anyone can perform mechanical work on an A/C system without a license, but no one is allowed to vent any refrigerant into the atmosphere.
How does an air conditioner compressor work in a Jaguar?
COMPRESSOR – The A/C compressor pumps the refrigerant through the system. It’s operated by an engine belt, just like the alternator and power steering pump. The only difference is that the A/C compressor has a clutch that engages and disengages the compressor as needed.

How does the air conditioning work in a jaguar’s type?
The temperature of the air coming through the vents is controlled by the Air Conditioning Control Module. All S-Type’s have Digital Control as standard, allowing occupants of the front seats to choose the precise temperature required using the temperature control buttons next to the LCD display in the centre of the dashboard.
What to look for in a Jaguar S-type?
We will explain what you need to look for: The temperature of the air coming through the vents is controlled by the Air Conditioning Control Module.
Where is the a / C pressure sensor on a Jaguar?
A/C pressure sensor/switch: 2. Check the fuse for the Heater Valve. It is Fuse 32 (10 amps) in the Front Power Distribution Fuse Box, located in the engine compartment. This fuse is hot +12 volts at all times, and also feeds the Auxiliary Coolant Pump Relay (4.0L models) and A/C Clutch Relay.
Why does my jaguar’s type have hot air on both sides?
Sometimes just one valve will stick, causing hot air on just one side of the cabin, and sometimes both valves can stick causing hot air on both sides of the cabin. It is VERY important to fix this issue as soon as possible, as further damage can be caused to the heating system if the DCCV is not repaired or changed.

How can I get hot air out of my Jaguar?
The way to determine this is to feel the heater hoses and if they are hot and then further along there is a cold area then that’s where the air is (which blocks the flow of coolant). The solution then is to purge the air by letting it out through a bleed point or temporarily loosening a hose clip to enable the air to escape.
What should the coolant temp be in a Jaguar?
Do not start the engine. Pull the connector from the CTS. Touch one probe of the meter to one pin on the CTS. Touch the other probe of the meter to the other pin. The resistance values at various engine temperatures shown below should be within 10%. 0 degrees C (32F) 5.9 kohms

What causes a Jaguar V-12 engine to overheat?
It has been Kirby Palm’s impression that faulty ignition timing is a major contributor to Jaguar’s reputation for overheating: If the timing of the V-12 is retarded it will overheat BIG TIME.

Is the AC on my S type 2004 working?
I have a S-type 2004 and the display just started to flash however the AC seems to be working normal. Any help would be appreciated.. So I’ve encountered a problem which seems to be relatively common with S-Types… after heaving my heater valve replaced (heat was no longer working) the AC on my 2000 S-Type 3.0 now blows hot.
Why does my AC blow hot when I Turn on the car?
So I’ve encountered a problem which seems to be relatively common with S-Types… after heaving my heater valve replaced (heat was no longer working) the AC on my 2000 S-Type 3.0 now blows hot. Basically what happens is when I turn on the car, it blows cool (ish) for the first minute or so then goes straight to hot.
Both of its solenoids were drawing too much current (one of which was tested at over 6 amps, an 850% over-current condition!): There is no over-current fault-protection circuitry that protects it against damage due to faulty Heater Valve. This applies to S-Types from (late 2002) through 2008.

Why are the vents on the passenger side warm?
Repairs for this problem = A/C compressor, orifice tube and drier replaced about 1 year ago. The problem I have is that when you turn the ac on the cool air only comes out the 2 vents on the passenger side. The 2 vents on the drivers side have warm air blowing out. A/C is controls are set to max air and max cold on the temp control.
Why does my a / C vents blow cold but warm drivers?
It will not be apparent if just looking at freon gauge pressures- they will be normal. But a system that is 1/2 pound low will cause the passenger side vents to blow cool or cold air, and the drivers side to be less cool or even warm on this car. There is simply not enough freon capacity in the system to cool the air to the drivers side.
Why is the solenoid on my Jaguar heater not working?
It is an active low circuit, so when the DCCV sees Ground at either the LH and/or RH pin, the respective solenoid within the DCCV activates. Case 1: Temperature setting “Lo” = CCM output ON (grounded) = solenoid ENERGZIED = solenoid valve CLOSED = coolant flow to heater core impeded = heater core NOT HOT when A/C is ON.
