Why is there no hot air in my Jaguar?
Generally this does not naturally occur but if you have a small coolant leak somewhere in the system or if there has been any work carried out on the cooling system then this could have introduced some air into the heater.
Why is there no hot air in my car?
Give it a try and see if the hoses are getting hot whilst you are running the heating system. After running the car with the heater control valve disconnected electrically there is still no heat, so i’m assuming that the valve is stuck shut. Is this a part that i can clean up and get working or would it be better to replace.
Where is the bleed valve on a jaguar’s type?
The valve would be on the plastic section of the top hose. The other (aluminium) pipe that you describe sounds like an air conditioning pipe. The bleed valve is on a pipe just to the lower right of the throttle body at the front of the engine. To open it, turn it a 1/4 turn clockwise.
How to diagnose a heater leak in a Jaguar?
1. Unbolt the Coolant/Water Expansion Tank, set it aside so it doesn’t block access to the Heater Valve. 2. Loosen the bolt that secures the Heater Valve to the car. 3. Rotate the Heater Valve to get access to its connector. Procedure A (This one is messy. We recommend that you do Procedure B instead.):
Where are the heating pipes on a Jaguar?
The common problem with the system described above is the failure of the DCCV. From this unit, two pipes go into the dashboard – one pipe for the Drivers side heating, and one pipe for the Passengers side heating.
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.
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.

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.
Generally this does not naturally occur but if you have a small coolant leak somewhere in the system or if there has been any work carried out on the cooling system then this could have introduced some air into the heater.
What’s the specific gravity of antifreeze on a Jaguar?
Failure to do so may cause corrosion of the radiator and engine components. The specific gravity of a 50% antifreeze solution at 68°F (20°C) is 1.068 and protects against frost down to -40°F (-40°C). Rotate the coolant reservoir filler cap counter-clockwise and remove.
How often should you change the antifreeze on a Jaguar?
Regardless of the distance traveled, the antifreeze should be replaced every 10 years. Failure to do so may cause corrosion of the radiator and engine components. The specific gravity of a 50% antifreeze solution at 68°F (20°C) is 1.068 and protects against frost down to -40°F (-40°C).
How do you top up the coolant in a Jaguar?
Rotate the coolant reservoir filler cap counter-clockwise and remove. Top up to the MAX indicator mark on the side of the coolant reservoir. Make sure that the correct mixture of water and antifreeze is used. See LUBRICANTS AND FLUIDS. In an emergency, and only if the approved antifreeze is unavailable, top up the cooling system with clean water.
