Here are the 3 common issues with Land Rovers and how to address them

Suspension Issues

Air suspension systems are one of the most notable components on Land Rover vehicles that are very common to encounter problems. It gives a smooth ride while optimizing handling but things like the air springs and compressors, however, can age. This can lead to sagging, uneven height or even complete failure.

How to Address It:Spotting a suspension issue early tops it off, as you may need to get regular maintenance and inspections done. If you find that your Land Rover is sagging on one side, or you hear unusual or excessive noise while driving, you should take it to a skilled technician. At Dieter’s, our ASE-certified technicians are experts in diagnosing and addressing air suspension issues so that your car can continue to deliver the luxurious ride quality you can count on.

Oil Leaks

Land Rovers are known to develop oil leaks, even in older cars. Oil leaks tend to come from the valve cover gaskets, oil cooler lines, or possibly the crankshaft seal. If left untreated, oil leaks can cause severe engine damage along with enormous repair costs down the line.

How to Address It: Regular oil changes and inspections may catch leaks when they’re still mild. If you see oil stains on your driveway or a burning smell from your engine, don’t hesitate to get your vehicle serviced. At Dieter’s Auto Care, we have access to state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment that can help locate and repair leaks and keep your engine running strong.

Electrical System Glitches

Luxury and sophisticated technology introduce complexity, and Land Rovers are no exception. Electrical problems are a frequent complaint from owners, including everything from malfunctioning infotainment systems to battery drains and faulty sensors. These glitches can aggravate, but they’re often solvable with the appropriate expertise.

How to Address It: Also, when you’re working on any electrical issues, it’s critical to rely on a repair shop capable of using factory-grade diagnostic tools. Our service center utilizes state-of-the-art technology to detect and fix electrical problems quickly, getting you back on the road without the hassle.
