At Meta Mechanics, we take pride in providing expert maintenance and repair services, and we recently completed a comprehensive Brake Pads & Rotors Replacement for a Range Rover Velar in Dubai. During the inspection and repair process, our technicians identified several issues affecting the braking performance. Below, we discuss the key problems we found and the solutions we implemented to restore the vehicle’s braking system to its optimal state.
Issues Identified During the Range Rover Velar Brake Pads & Rotors Replacement
- Severely Worn Brake Pads:
- Problem: Upon inspection, we discovered that the brake pads on the Range Rover Velar were severely worn down, with the friction material almost completely gone. Worn brake pads result in longer stopping distances, reduced braking efficiency, and increased wear on the rotors.
- Solution: We replaced the old, worn brake pads with high-quality OEM parts designed for the Range Rover Velar. The new brake pads restored efficient braking, improved safety, and provided a smoother, more responsive driving experience.
- Grooved and Scored Brake Rotors:
- Problem: The brake rotors showed significant signs of damage, including deep grooves and scoring, which had developed over time due to the excessive wear of the old brake pads. These imperfections on the rotor surface can cause vibrations during braking and reduce the contact area between the pads and rotors, leading to inefficient braking.
- Solution: After replacing the brake pads, we also replaced the damaged rotors with high-quality OEM replacements. The new rotors ensured smooth, even contact with the brake pads, eliminating vibrations and improving overall braking performance.
- Uneven Brake Pad Wear:
- Problem: Our inspection revealed that the brake pads were wearing unevenly, likely due to issues with the brake calipers, misalignment, or rotor damage. Uneven wear can lead to poor braking performance, excessive noise, and the need for premature replacement.
- Solution: After replacing the brake pads, we checked the calipers and brake alignment, making necessary adjustments to ensure that the new pads would wear evenly. This ensures the longevity of the new components and maintains optimal braking performance.
- Brake Fluid Contamination:
- Problem: The brake fluid in the system appeared contaminated, which can lead to reduced braking efficiency and possible brake failure under high stress. Contaminated fluid can also corrode components of the braking system over time.
- Solution: We performed a complete brake fluid flush, replacing the old fluid with fresh, high-quality brake fluid. This ensured that the braking system operated at peak performance and helped prevent future corrosion of critical components.
- Caliper Issues:
- Problem: We discovered that the brake calipers were slightly sticking, which prevented them from releasing the brake pads properly. This can cause uneven braking, premature pad wear, and a decrease in braking performance.
- Solution: We cleaned, lubricated, and serviced the brake calipers to ensure they functioned smoothly. By resolving this issue, we prevented uneven pad wear and ensured that the braking system applied pressure evenly across all four wheels.
