At Meta Mechanics, we recently completed an engine overheating repair on a Range Rover Velar in Dubai. Engine overheating is a serious issue that can cause long-term damage if not addressed promptly. Our expert technicians thoroughly inspected the vehicle and discovered several underlying problems. Here’s a summary of the issues we found and the solutions we provided:
Issues Found During the Engine Overheating Repair:
- Faulty Radiator Thermostat
The thermostat was stuck in a closed position, preventing coolant from flowing properly through the radiator, which caused the engine to overheat.
Solution:
We replaced the faulty thermostat with an OEM-grade part to ensure proper coolant flow and regulate the engine temperature. We also tested the new thermostat to ensure it opened and closed at the correct temperatures. - Leaking Radiator
The radiator showed signs of leakage, which resulted in a loss of coolant, reducing the cooling system’s efficiency and causing the engine to overheat.
Solution:
We replaced the damaged radiator with a high-quality replacement and refilled the system with fresh coolant. This restored the proper cooling function and eliminated the risk of further overheating. - Clogged Radiator Hoses
The hoses that supply coolant to and from the radiator were partially clogged with debris and corrosion, obstructing coolant flow and causing inconsistent cooling.
Solution:
We thoroughly cleaned and flushed the radiator hoses to remove any blockages. Any hoses showing significant wear were replaced to ensure optimal coolant circulation. - Faulty Water Pump
The water pump, which circulates coolant through the engine, was malfunctioning and failed to maintain the proper coolant flow, contributing to the engine’s overheating.
Solution:
We replaced the faulty water pump with a new, high-performance part. The pump was tested for correct flow and efficiency to ensure the engine would receive the necessary cooling moving forward. - Insufficient Coolant Level
The vehicle’s coolant level was found to be dangerously low, likely due to undetected leaks or improper maintenance, which exacerbated the overheating issue.
Solution:
We topped up the coolant to the correct levels, ensuring that the cooling system functioned at its full capacity. We also conducted a pressure test to check for any additional leaks and advised the owner on maintaining proper coolant levels going forward.
