When buying a new Range Rover Velar, the driver faces a new task – to preserve its appearance as much as possible, as well as its performance properties. All parts of the car are subject to wear and tear, and proper care and maintenance of the Range Rover Velar will help reduce it to a minimum, as well as prevent damage or failure of individual systems. In this blog, We will tell you the tips to keep your Land Rover Range Rover Velar.
Washing
The Range Rover’s body is constantly exposed to dust and dirt, especially in UAE, and in the autumn and winter, road reagents are added to it, causing the paint to become cloudy and corrosion to appear. Regular washing is one of the main stages of maintenance – it is necessary to thoroughly wash away dirt from hidden cavities. For example, on many Velars, dirt washed off the glass flows into the cavities in the lower part of the front fenders and causes corrosion.
Interior Cleaning
Dirt gets into the Velar’s interior from shoes and is also drawn in through the ventilation system. The filter does not provide 100% air purification from dust, and open glass in the doors supplies an additional portion of small particles to the interior. It is recommended to vacuum the interior at least once a month, wet cleaning is necessary once every 2-4 months. Applying polish to plastic gives the surface a shine, but without wet cleaning, layers of polish absorb dirt. Call the Hytec Auto Shop for the most convenient washing and cleaning services for your Range Rover at fair prices.
Caring for Rugs
If rubber mats are used in the Range Rover, sand should be shaken off regularly. Otherwise, dirt will become one of the sources of fine dust. Fabric mats should be regularly vacuumed and washed in a high-pressure washer. Also, do not forget about the mat in the trunk, which gets dirty to a lesser extent, but still requires cleaning.
Glazing
During vehicle operation, a greasy film forms on the inner surface of the glass, which impairs visibility at dusk and at night. The deposits can be removed with glass cleaners and a lint-free cloth. It is recommended to carry out the treatment at least once every 2-3 weeks. Regular maintenance like glazing and caring for rugs can be taken care of in an easy maintenance plan provided by Land Rover certified mechanics in Dubai.
Caution for Headlights
Do not wipe the headlights with wet hand wipes of your Range Rover, as the antibacterial composition has a negative effect on the plastic, which becomes cloudy. If the diffuser has become cloudy, its appearance can only be restored by polishing with an armoring film – without additional protection, the plastic quickly becomes cloudy from ultraviolet light.
Regular Maintenance
For each Range Rover model, the manufacturer develops a service card, and a list of works with mileage is given in the service book. As it is a passenger car, often used in traffic jams, the recommended interval between oil changes is 7-9 thousand km. For cars mainly moving on the highway, the interval can be increased to 10 thousand km. It is not recommended to change the oil after 15 thousand km, as prescribed by many manufacturers. An early oil change will benefit the engine.
It is recommended to change the filter installed in the heating and ventilation system twice a year. When contaminated, the air supply to the cabin deteriorates, and an unpleasant odor appears. It is equally important to regularly change the oil in the transmission units, and check the condition of the brakes and suspension. Even if the car is serviced in an unofficial service center or a small workshop, it is better to ask the employees to fully check all the units and report any defects found.
Inspection of Tires and Pressure Check
Inspect the tire tread at least once a week. In addition to foreign objects, it is important to pay attention to the uniformity of wear of the tread, which is used to judge the correctness of the toe-in angles. The pressure should be checked at least once a month – before a long trip with a full load, it is necessary to pump up the tires.

Battery Charge
If the Range Rover Velar is used regularly, the battery does not require recharging. During long periods of inactivity or trips of 2-3 km, it is recommended to regularly charge the battery from the network. The built-in charge indicator is not always accurate, since the measurement is carried out only in one of the cans. It is also necessary to regularly remove dust and traces of electrolyte vapors from the body with a rag soaked in ammonia solution.
Conclusion
Regular maintenance of Range Rover Velar does not require a lot of time and money, but it affects the appearance and reliability of the car. It is much more pleasant to sit in a clean car, not to see streaks of dirt or a thick layer of dust on the dashboard and door panels. A well-maintained car will start in any weather, and the risk of sudden failure on a deserted road will be significantly reduced.
