At Meta Mechanics, we specialize in delivering comprehensive automotive maintenance services to ensure your vehicle runs smoothly and safely. Recently, we completed a brake oil change for a Range Rover HST in Dubai. During this service, we identified several key issues that were impacting the braking system’s efficiency and safety. Below are the issues we found and the solutions we provided:
Identified Issues & Solutions:
- Contaminated Brake Fluid: The brake fluid was found to be contaminated with moisture and debris, which can compromise braking performance and lead to corrosion in the brake system.
Solution:
We flushed and replaced the contaminated brake fluid with fresh, high-quality brake oil, ensuring the braking system operates smoothly and preventing further damage to the components. - Old Brake Fluid Causing Brake Fade: The brake fluid had degraded over time, which can lead to reduced boiling point, causing brake fade and inconsistent braking performance.
Solution:
We replaced the old fluid with premium, high-performance brake fluid, restoring the fluid’s ability to withstand high temperatures and ensuring consistent, reliable braking power. - Air in the Brake Lines: The brake system had air trapped in the lines, which can cause a spongy brake pedal feel and reduce braking efficiency.
Solution:
We performed a thorough brake bleeding procedure to remove all air from the lines, ensuring the brake pedal felt firm and responsive, restoring full braking power. - Corroded Brake Components: Due to moisture in the old brake fluid, some of the brake components showed early signs of corrosion, which can lead to long-term damage and brake system failure.
Solution:
We cleaned and inspected all brake components, including the master cylinder and calipers, replacing any corroded parts with new, high-quality replacements to ensure the longevity of the braking system. - Inconsistent Brake Pedal Response: The brake pedal was found to be inconsistent, with varying resistance when applied, a sign of deteriorating brake fluid and compromised system performance.
Solution:
After flushing and replacing the brake fluid, we calibrated the brake system and checked for any other issues to ensure the brake pedal felt consistent and responsive, providing smooth and reliable braking.
