At Meta Mechanics, we specialize in providing expert repairs and maintenance services for luxury vehicles, and we recently completed an engine mount replacement job on a Range Rover Velar in Dubai. During the replacement process, we identified several additional issues that were affecting the vehicle’s overall performance. Below is a summary of the key problems we encountered and the solutions we provided to ensure the vehicle runs smoothly:
Issues Found During the Engine Mount Replacement:
- Worn Engine Mounts
The primary issue was the deterioration of the engine mounts, which had become cracked and worn. This caused excessive engine movement, leading to vibrations, noise, and discomfort while driving.
Solution:
We replaced the damaged engine mounts with high-quality, OEM-grade parts to restore proper engine stability. This resolved the vibrations and noise issues, providing a smoother driving experience. - Misaligned Transmission Mount
The transmission mount was misaligned, which caused additional stress on the engine and transmission components. This misalignment led to irregular shifting and unnecessary wear on the drivetrain.
Solution:
We realigned and replaced the faulty transmission mount to ensure proper alignment between the engine and transmission. This solution helped improve shifting smoothness and minimized drivetrain strain. - Cracked Radiator Support
During the engine mount replacement, we discovered a cracked radiator support, which could have led to misalignment and potential damage to the radiator if not addressed.
Solution:
We replaced the cracked radiator support and ensured all components were properly aligned. This precaution prevented further damage and helped maintain optimal cooling system functionality. - Excessive Wear on Suspension Bushings
The suspension bushings showed signs of excessive wear, which could have led to poor handling and instability, particularly during sharp turns or high speeds.
Solution:
We replaced the worn suspension bushings with upgraded parts to restore vehicle handling and alignment. Regular checks and replacement of suspension components were recommended to prevent future issues. - Faulty Power Steering Pump
The power steering pump was showing signs of wear and leaking fluid, which affected the vehicle’s steering responsiveness and smoothness.
Solution:
We replaced the power steering pump and topped up the system with high-quality steering fluid. Regular inspections and fluid checks were suggested to avoid potential steering problems in the future.
