At 800 Meta UAE, we are dedicated to providing premium automotive services to ensure your vehicle performs at its best. Recently, we completed a critical engine overheating repair for a Mercedes G500 in Dubai. Our expert technicians conducted a thorough inspection and identified several underlying issues that required immediate attention. Here’s a summary of our findings and the effective solutions we implemented.
Issues Identified:
Faulty Thermostat
Description: The thermostat was stuck in the closed position, preventing coolant from circulating through the engine, which led to overheating.
Solution: We replaced the faulty thermostat with a genuine OEM part, ensuring proper temperature regulation and optimal engine performance.
Clogged Radiator
Description: The radiator was found to be clogged with debris, restricting coolant flow and reducing cooling efficiency.
Solution: We performed a thorough cleaning of the radiator and, if necessary, replaced it to restore effective cooling and prevent future overheating.
Leaking Coolant Hoses
Description: Several coolant hoses were leaking, leading to a loss of coolant and further contributing to the overheating issue.
Solution: We replaced the damaged hoses and ensured all connections were secure, replenishing the coolant system to the appropriate levels.
Water Pump Malfunction
Description: The water pump was not functioning effectively, impacting coolant circulation throughout the engine.
Solution: We replaced the malfunctioning water pump to ensure proper coolant flow and enhance the engine’s cooling system performance.
Coolant Level Check
Description: Low coolant levels were observed, which can exacerbate overheating problems.
Solution: We topped up the coolant to the recommended levels and conducted a pressure test to check for any additional leaks in the system.
