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 the a / C system work in a Jaguar?
The A/C system doesn’t pump “cold” into the car, it extracts heat from the inside of the car and pumps it out into the atmosphere. It does this by the use of the refrigerant chemical. In older cars, the chemical was R12 (freon). Since R12 contains chlorine and flourine, it damages the ozone layer and its production was banned.

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.
