Quick answer
When the A/C in a Jetour X70 Plus blows warm, cools only on the move or has weak airflow, possible causes include low refrigerant from a leak, a compressor or compressor-clutch fault, a condenser blocked with dust, a sticking expansion valve, a faulty pressure switch, or a clogged cabin filter or weak blower motor. Owner checks are limited to airflow, the cabin filter, noises and the condenser face, because measuring pressures and recharging the system needs workshop equipment. A qualified workshop should find the leak or fault before the system is refilled or parts are replaced.
Which X70 Plus this A/C guide covers
The official X70 Plus facts we verified describe the powertrain, not the air-conditioning, so this guide stays general about the refrigerant circuit and every A/C part is matched by VIN.

How an X70 Plus A/C problem shows itself
| What you notice | What it can indicate |
|---|---|
| Cool on the move, warm at idle or in queues | Condenser airflow (fan or blocked fins) or a low refrigerant charge |
| No cold air at all | Compressor not engaging, a pressure switch cut-out, an electrical fault or an empty system |
| Cold air but very little of it | Clogged cabin air filter or a weak blower motor |
| Cooling comes and goes | Ice forming on the evaporator or a sticking expansion valve |
| Noise or rattle when the A/C is switched on | Compressor or compressor clutch wear |
| Musty smell from the vents | Moisture and dirt on the evaporator or filter |
| Water in the front footwell | A blocked evaporator drain |
Possible causes when the A/C stops cooling
Possible causes include the following; a workshop test is needed to tell which applies.
- Refrigerant leak: the system is sealed, so a low charge almost always means a leak at a hose, joint, the condenser or the evaporator. Refilling without finding it usually gives only short-lived cooling.
- Compressor or compressor clutch: if the compressor does not engage or is worn, the refrigerant is not pressurised and the air stays warm.
- Condenser: it sits at the front with the radiator; sand, insects or bent fins reduce how much heat it can release, which is felt most at idle.
- Expansion valve: if it sticks, the evaporator may be starved of refrigerant or may freeze.
- Pressure switch: it protects the compressor; a faulty switch can stop the compressor even when the charge is correct.
- Blower motor and cabin filter: the system may be cold but cannot move enough air into the cabin.
- Cooling fan: the same front airflow serves the engine radiator and the condenser, so a fan fault can affect both cooling and A/C.
X70 Plus A/C parts involved
- A/C compressor and, where fitted, the compressor clutch.
- Condenser: releases heat from the refrigerant at the front of the car.
- Evaporator: the cold core behind the dashboard.
- Expansion valve: meters refrigerant into the evaporator.
- A/C pressure switch: protects the system from too high or too low pressure.
- Refrigerant hoses: carry refrigerant between the parts.
- Blower motor and cabin air filter: move and clean the air entering the cabin.
Safe checks you can make
- Set the coldest temperature, recirculation and full fan speed, then feel each vent. Weak airflow at every vent points to the filter or blower rather than the refrigerant side.
- Inspect or replace the cabin air filter; its location is shown in the owner manual.
- Look through the front grille at the condenser for sand, leaves or plastic.
- With the engine idling and the bonnet open, listen for a click as the A/C is switched on and whether the cooling fan starts. Keep hands, hair and clothing well away from belts and fans.
- Note whether the problem is worse at idle, on the motorway or after the car has stood in the sun.
Do not open the refrigerant circuit or use a DIY recharge can: the refrigerant type and charge for the X70 Plus have not been verified, and overfilling can damage the compressor.
When to get the A/C diagnosed, and when to stop
Have the vehicle diagnosed by a qualified workshop if the cooling fades again after a recharge, the compressor is noisy or never engages, you see oily residue on A/C pipes or joints, or the vents smell strongly. The workshop can measure pressures, leak-test the circuit and recover and recharge refrigerant with the right equipment.
Stop driving if a squeal or burning smell comes from the front of the engine when the A/C is on, or if the engine temperature gauge rises at the same time: a seized compressor or a fan fault can affect more than comfort. Switch off safely and have the car inspected. Also pull over if the windscreen fogs and you cannot clear it.
UAE heat and the X70 Plus A/C
In the UAE the A/C in an X70 Plus runs almost all year, often at full load in slow traffic where the condenser gets little airflow. Fine dust clogs the cabin filter and condenser fins, and coastal humidity keeps the evaporator damp, which can cause smells. After the car has stood in the sun, opening the windows for the first moments of driving lets hot air out before the A/C takes over.
Sourcing A/C parts for an X70 Plus
A cabin filter can be ordered on the VIN alone. For refrigerant-side parts such as a compressor, condenser or expansion valve, wait for the workshop leak test so you buy only what failed, then send us its findings with the VIN; a photo of the A/C label under the bonnet also helps. We match each part to that X70 Plus and quote with UAE delivery, while evacuating and recharging the system is done by your workshop. Other parts for the model are listed on the Jetour X70 Plus spare parts page.

Frequently asked questions
Why does my X70 Plus A/C cool on the motorway but not in traffic?
At low speed the condenser depends on the cooling fan. Possible causes include a fan fault, a blocked condenser or a low refrigerant charge.
Which refrigerant does the Jetour X70 Plus use?
ShipMyPart has not verified the refrigerant type or charge. A qualified workshop reads it from the label under the bonnet or from the service data.
Can I recharge the X70 Plus A/C with a DIY can?
It is not recommended. Without measuring pressures the system can be overfilled, and the leak that caused the low charge remains.
How do I know if the A/C compressor is faulty?
No cold air, a noise when the A/C is switched on or a compressor that never engages can indicate a fault, but a pressure switch or electrical fault can look the same. A workshop test confirms it.
Can a dirty cabin filter stop the A/C cooling?
It can reduce airflow so much that the cabin stays warm, even when the system itself is cold. It is the simplest part to check first.
Can ShipMyPart supply A/C parts for the X70 Plus?
Yes. Send the VIN and we source the matching compressor, condenser, evaporator, valve, switch, hoses, blower or filter with UAE delivery.
