Range Rover SV Cambelt Replacement Dubai

At Meta Mechanics, we understand the importance of a properly functioning engine, and we specialize in maintaining and repairing high-performance vehicles like the Range Rover SV. Recently, we completed a cambelt replacement job for a Range Rover SV that was experiencing timing issues. After conducting a detailed inspection, we discovered several underlying problems that were contributing to engine performance concerns. Here’s a breakdown of the issues we found and how we resolved them.

Issues Found and Solutions:

1. Worn Cambelt
   • Problem: The cambelt was severely worn and showing signs of cracking and fraying, which could have led to timing issues, engine misfires, or even catastrophic engine damage if not addressed.
   • Solution: We replaced the old cambelt with a new, high-quality OEM part, ensuring proper engine timing and preventing any risk of the belt snapping or slipping in the future.
2. Damaged Tensioner Pulley
   • Problem: The tensioner pulley, which keeps the cambelt properly tight, was damaged and no longer maintaining the correct pressure on the belt, leading to potential skipping or misalignment of the timing.
   • Solution: We replaced the damaged tensioner pulley with a new one, restoring the proper tension on the cambelt and ensuring smooth engine operation.
3. Worn Timing Pulley
   • Problem: The timing pulley was worn, which could have caused irregular belt movement, leading to engine performance issues and inaccurate timing.
   • Solution: We replaced the worn timing pulley with a brand-new, high-quality part, ensuring that the cambelt ran smoothly and that the engine timing was perfectly aligned.
4. Oil Contamination
   • Problem: We discovered oil contamination around the cambelt, likely due to a leaking camshaft or crankshaft seal, which could degrade the belt material and lead to premature failure.
   • Solution: We replaced the faulty seals to eliminate the oil leakage, ensuring that the new cambelt remains clean and protected, thereby extending its lifespan.
5. Misaligned Timing Marks
   • Problem: The timing marks on the camshaft and crankshaft were misaligned, which could cause the engine to run out of sync, leading to power loss or potential engine damage.
   • Solution: We meticulously aligned the timing marks and re-calibrated the engine’s timing. This ensured that the engine ran smoothly and at optimal performance, with no risk of further timing issues.
