Land Rover’s Discovery series has always been synonymous with luxury and off-road capability. The 2020 Landmark Edition takes this reputation to a new level with its supercharged engine and refined features. However, even the most robust vehicles can encounter mechanical issues. Recently, a stunning 2020 Land Rover Discovery Landmark Edition arrived at Dart Auto in Denver, Colorado, with a concerning coolant leak. Our team of experienced technicians sprang into action to diagnose and resolve the problem, showcasing our commitment to providing top-tier automotive care.
The Challenge: A Leaky Supercharged Beast
The customer reported a noticeable loss of coolant and rising engine temperatures. These symptoms are classic indicators of a coolant leak, which can lead to serious engine damage if left unchecked. In a supercharged engine, proper cooling is even more critical due to the increased heat generated.
The Diagnostic Process: Coolant Pressure Testing
At Dart Auto, we believe in a thorough and systematic approach to diagnostics. The first step was to perform a coolant pressure test. This involves pressurizing the cooling system to identify any leaks. By using specialized equipment, our technicians were able to pinpoint the source of the leak and assess the overall health of the cooling system.
What is a Coolant Pressure Test?
- Purpose: To detect leaks in the cooling system, including hoses, radiator, water pump, and head gasket.
- Procedure: A pressure tester is connected to the radiator or coolant reservoir, and pressure is applied. Any pressure drop indicates a leak.
- Benefits: Accurate leak detection, prevention of overheating, and potential engine damage.
The Solution: Water Pump Replacement
The coolant pressure test revealed a faulty water pump as the primary culprit. The water pump is responsible for circulating coolant throughout the engine, ensuring optimal operating temperatures. When it fails, coolant flow is disrupted, leading to leaks and overheating.
Our skilled technicians at Dart Auto proceeded with a water pump replacement. This involved:
- Draining the cooling system.
- Removing the old water pump.
- Installing a new, high-quality water pump.
- Refill the cooling system with the correct coolant mixture.
- Performing a final pressure test to ensure no leaks remain.
