At Meta Mechanics, we are committed to delivering expert automotive services to keep your luxury vehicle performing at its best. Recently, we completed a brake pads replacement for a Range Rover HST in Dubai. During the inspection, we identified several issues that were impacting the vehicle’s braking performance and overall safety. Here are the key problems we found and the solutions we provided:
Identified Issues & Solutions:
- Worn Brake Pads: The front and rear brake pads were significantly worn down, reducing their ability to effectively stop the vehicle, especially under heavy braking conditions. This posed a safety risk to the vehicle’s performance.
Solution:
We replaced the worn-out brake pads with high-quality, OEM-grade replacements, restoring optimal braking performance and ensuring safety and reliability. - Uneven Brake Pad Wear: The brake pads showed uneven wear, which is typically a sign of issues with the brake calipers or alignment. This could cause the vehicle to pull to one side during braking.
Solution:
After replacing the pads, we inspected and serviced the brake calipers, ensuring they were functioning smoothly and properly aligned to prevent uneven wear in the future. - Contaminated Brake Pads: Upon inspection, we found that the brake pads had become contaminated with dust and debris, affecting their ability to grip the rotor and causing reduced braking efficiency.
Solution:
We thoroughly cleaned the brake components, including the calipers and rotors, before replacing the contaminated brake pads, ensuring proper pad contact and restoring full braking efficiency. - Damaged Brake Rotors: The brake rotors showed signs of scoring and damage due to the worn brake pads, which could lead to increased braking distances and vibrations when applying the brakes.
Solution:
We replaced the damaged rotors with new, high-performance rotors that were perfectly matched to the new brake pads, ensuring smooth braking and improved stopping power. - Faulty Brake Pad Sensors: The brake pad wear sensors were malfunctioning, which could lead to delayed detection of future brake pad wear and impact overall brake system performance.
Solution:
We replaced the faulty brake pad sensors, ensuring they would accurately monitor brake pad wear and alert the driver when it’s time for future replacements.
