At least I got your attention .

 

Mine always blows hot air for a minute or two after startup (car, not wife). Our temps are pretty high in summer, around what you are saying.


After a couple of minutes the air cools down. I haven't had that issue with any other Jag, it seems to be peculiar to the XK.

 

I think most cars do that on start up , same when idleing then cool down when moving ,
This problem was all the time .

I wish could get mine to blow all the time , ( not the car )

 

Since the driver and passenger sides 'can' be controlled independently, are you sure the passenger side wasn't 'cranked up'?
If not, sounds like maybe whatever controls that 'split' has gone wonky.

 

Could be wrong but I seem to remember similar issues in the S type section, I'll try to check if I get a minute

 

Bernie, a code read for the Jaguar specific climate control codes with an SDD system or AutoEnginuity might reveal a clue.

 

Yes the the drivers side was set at 68 and the pass. at 62 , the car was showing 98

 

Thanks Jim

 

Thanks Steve , I havent got a code reader . I guess Im going to have to take it in and get it checked , maybe someone here will have the answer.
By the way how is the rear/ front camara coming along ??

 

See below, not sure if it relates, but could help?

I've complained to the service center at the dealership to where I bring my car about the really slow start-up (at least 3-5min) for cold air when set to AC. They claim they have tested the system and "all is good".
It's sad that my 4Runner blows cold air faster (almost immediately) than my Jag...

 

had the same in Dubai.. where it gets above 45C... it blows hot initially.. and then after like 30 seconds it goes coldish.. and after a minute or so it goes deep freeze mode

 

My car was doing this with one side hot and the other cold, I took it to an air con specialist which tested the system. Was just apparently low on gas, topped up to the max and now cold air out all the vents.

 

Thanks for that info , I think I will try that first.

 

Same here where pass side warmer than driver and usually an indication the freon is low. definitely check that first.

Charged mine and all was good. In fact it was so good that I ended up with the dreaded water in passenger well due to the poorly designed duck bill drain in the 07XK.

Guess the previous owner removed freon to either mask issue or that was their solution.
