Be sure to address coolant leaks before your Range Rover overheats and sustains damage to its engine.
Recognizing Range Rover Radiator Coolant Leaks and When Repair is Necessary
Range Rovers rely on coolants to regulate temperature, like most vehicles. If leaks occur the vehicle's performance will be impacted and if left unrepaired can result in major damage. So it is important to understand what causes leaks, how to recognize leaking coolant and options for coolant leak repair.
Coolant assists the transmission of heat through the vehicle engine, keeping it warm and protecting it from freezing, as well as preventing overheating. It is used by the cooling system to prevent temperatures from rising to a point that Range Rover engine components get damaged or even melt.
Range Rover coolant is easy to find under the hood. The liquid is stored in the coolant reservoir which is connected to hoses that circulate it. Leaks occur due to the following common reasons:
Radiator Cap Leak
If the Range Rover radiator cap seal has been broken or was not applied properly then coolant will leak out.
Coolant Reservoir Crack
If the reservoir storing the liquid has holes or cracks then the coolant will drain out. Assess the reservoir for damage or see if coolant is pooling under the vehicle in the same location as the reservoir.
Water Pump Leak
Range Rover cooling systems rely on water pumps and if this has a leak then coolant could spill out. This can be inspected visually but a trained technician is better suited to do the check.
The hoses could also be damaged and can leak coolant. While external leaks are easy to spot because the liquid will drip to the pavement, internal leaks are not as easy. Signs of coolant leaks include:
Engine overheating
Visible leaks
Poor gas mileage
Sweet odor
Coolant or antifreeze is purposely concocted to have a sweet smell and bright appearance so that it can be spotted easily.
If you suspect your Range Rover has a coolant leak then don't wait for the situation to deteriorate. Have it serviced before it overheats and results in permanent damage.
