i have a 2000 jaguar 3.0 s-type.
here's my problem. i would like to recharge my ac but i cannot find the port. where would it be located? thanks in advance.
This post was very helpful. My 2001 S type air conditioner stopped cooling over the winter. You can get to the low pressure valve by turned the front wheels all the way to the left. Then get on the ground and look behind the drivers front wheel. The valve is on the compressor behind a flexible flap which you can raise up. There is a black dust cap covering the valve. My compressor was not running but after adding 18 oz of r134, it engaged and begin to cool properly. Price was $24 at Walmart for the 18oz can with a hose and gauge. Was much better than a trip to the garage.
If your car was a pound and a half low on R134, I would heavily suspect there is a leak in the system. Did the Wal Mart R134 have dye in it?
I hate not seeing pics, but yes on my '02 3.0, its on the compressor pointing inwards (shrader valve is a M8). You will need a ramp or jack, different of the newer models where i see them turn the wheel. I aplogize if the pic is too large.
