Recently I replaced the condensor compressor and dryer (4 seasons) after determining the compressor failed. Evac and recharged system and all seemed to be working great.
This is my wife's daily driver. She told the air gets warm when she comes to a stop. She's right as always.
I read the climate control system posted here and went through the testing to see if the dccv was working properly and seams to be. I use both a temp gun and my hvac multi meter that has a temp prob to check the blowing temps out of all the vents in the dash
Car is fully warmed up and set to Low and dash vents.
My car ext temp reads 86 in the am , I rev up to 1500 rpm and ac blowing temps are upper 50s. I rev 2000 rpm and goes down a little more to mid 50s. This is really good
At idle 600 + rpm and blowing temps creep to 80s. Passenger vents a little higher.
the car has an electric fan only and I'm wondering how to check it. I see it turning but dont know if it adjust speeds for coolant temps and ac commands.
I also realize it may need a little more freon but I want to know if the fan is variable speed.
Any and all suggestions are greatly appreciated.

 

 

A month or so since the repair.
Great idea for checking the fan air flow. I can hear a slight increase when the ac is turned on along with the ac clutch engaging.
I've never really researched what the air temps blowing are before but I tested my other vehicles and your right at idle it's upper 40 and drops when driving and higher rpms.
Gonna check the pressures and look for leaks. This thing isn't real clean underneath yet.
Thanks

 

Just a comment on finding leaks?
Our Jaguars come with UV dye in the refrigerant from the factory.
This means a small black light flashlight will show up leaks anywhere the oil is. Won't find leaks hidden from view but it's cheap and quick for a lot of under hood connections.
I have one of these in addition to a sniffer as Karl said they are also pretty cheap these days.
