AC blows warm on drivers side and cold on passenger side
I took the wifes 02 X-Type to get washed today and while I was waiting in line at idle, I noticed the AC got warm. I then felt the passenger side vents and they were very cold. The more I sat there at idle the more the drivers side warmed up while the passenger side stayed nice and cold. When they were done with the wash and I finally was able to get in and drive away, the drivers side seemed to cool down some, but still not near the passenger sides temp. Definately cooler when driving as opposed to idle, but still not as cold as what the passenger side seemed to stay regardless if idle or moving.
What's causing this? Do I need a charge on my AC system?
Thanks!

Hey, Longhorn. Do a search within the X-type forum and you'll find some threads that discuss the problem being stuck doors within the ductwork. I haven't had that issue yet, so can't offer you advice any better than within those threads. My 03 X is sitting the summer out inside my garage since the a/c compressor clutch fell off the car (apparently a not unheard of issue). If you're handy with tools, you might want to Lock-tite the center nut on the compressor clutch assembly.

Also, from the research I've done, it appears that if the AC charge doesn't resolve the issue, it's probably the blend door actuator that's causing the problem. The question I have regarding this is I've found a TSB for Jaguar for this problem. The nice thing is it also gives the manufacturers steps to resolve the issue. If anyone is interested, it can be found here:

My X-Type is an '02 and it fits in the range of the VIN# shown in the TSB. Does that mean I can take this to my Jag dealer and they will fix this without cost to me?
Thanks again!

Also the biggest leak point on an X is the ac compressor, followed by the ac line that runs behind the bumper cover just above the under tray on the front pass side of the car almost directly straight down from the high beam headlight. theres a torx bolt the attaches the undertray to the bumper cover and it tends to get pushed up into the ac line and wear a hole in it. check both areas.

Brutal,
You obviously know your business. What do you think about my proposed method of attack regarding my missing a/c clutch?
