Cooling systems on Range Rovers are pushed to their limits every summer. Plastic coolant crossover pipes on the 5.0 V8, thermostat housings on the TDV6 and auxiliary water pumps on the Ingenium engines are all known wear items, and a small leak can become a warped cylinder head within minutes if it is ignored.
We pressure-test the entire system, inspect every hose and pipe with a borescope, and check for combustion gases in the coolant before diagnosing. Repairs use genuine or upgraded aluminium replacement parts where available, and we finish with a vacuum fill so there are no air pockets.
Cooling System & Overheating on the Range Rover Evoque
The Evoque is the most popular Range Rover in the region, and its compact size hides genuinely complex mechanicals. From the Haldex all-wheel-drive unit to the nine-speed automatic on later cars, we service every version.
Engines we cover on this model: 2.0 Si4 petrol, 2.2 SD4 diesel, 2.0 Ingenium petrol and diesel, P300e PHEV. Production 2011 – present (L538, L551). Faults we see most often on the Range Rover Evoque include haldex all-wheel-drive pump and filter, nine-speed zf gearbox shift quality, turbocharger and boost pipe faults, and each is diagnosed with the model-specific procedure before any parts are recommended.

How we work
Every job begins with a proper diagnosis on the lift and on Land Rover's diagnostic platform. You receive a written report, photos and a fixed price on WhatsApp before any work begins. Genuine or OE-equivalent parts are used, every repair carries a written warranty, and the vehicle is road tested before handover.
Frequently asked questions
Is overheating serious on a Range Rover?
Very. Aluminium engines tolerate very little overheating before the cylinder head distorts. Stop the vehicle and call us on WhatsApp for recovery.
What coolant do you use?
Genuine Land Rover long-life coolant mixed to the correct ratio. Mixing coolant types can cause corrosion and gelling.
How often should the coolant be changed?
Every five years or 150,000 km, or sooner if the system has been opened for a repair.
