Hi everyone, I have a 2006 Jaguar X Type. The ac only stays cold for a few hours after it is charged. I know this means there is a leak in the system. My question is...... Does anyone know or aware of a common place the leak may be in this car? It would save me lots of time and $$ if someone said "oh yeah these cars have a common leak in......"

Thanks for your help in advance

Did the company that recharged the system not put a dye in as well?

This helps them see where the leak is using a black light

 

There is a high (over) pressure "pop off" valve on the little manifold that bolts to the compressor. I had to replace mine. You can get one at an AC shop. Costs somewhere between cheap and free.
