Range Rover Overheating in Dubai Traffic: Causes, Risks & When to Stop Driving

Range Rover Overheating in Dubai Traffic: What You’re Really Experiencing

If your Range Rover temperature gauge starts climbing, a warning light appears, or you feel excessive heat after driving in Dubai traffic, your vehicle is overheating. This is one of the most common issues Range Rover owners face in the UAE.Overheating usually shows up during slow traffic, long idling, or short trips in hot weather  exactly how most people drive in Dubai.

What Happens If You Ignore Overheating in Dubai Heat?

Ignoring an overheating warning is risky. In Dubai heat, engines get hot very quickly, and damage can happen faster than you expect.

• Loss of engine power
• Car going into limp mode
• Coolant boiling or leaking
• Severe engine damage if driven too long
• Very high repair costs

Many major engine repairs start with small overheating warnings that were ignored.

Why Range Rovers Overheat More in Dubai

Range Rovers are designed for comfort and performance, but Dubai conditions are extreme. Heat, traffic, and dust put extra stress on the cooling system.Common reasons include:

• Coolant level dropping over time
• Cooling fans not working efficiently
• Blocked or tired radiator
• Hoses and seals wearing out faster in heat
• AC running constantly in traffic

Repeated overheating warnings may also be linked to battery drain and electrical issues, especially in high-temperature environments.

You don’t need to know the technical terms — the result is the same: the engine cannot stay cool.

Which Range Rover Models Are Commonly Affected?

Overheating issues are commonly seen in:

• Range Rover Sport
• Range Rover Vogue
• Range Rover Velar
• Range Rover Evoque
• Land Rover Discovery

Higher mileage vehicles and cars used daily in traffic are more likely to overheat.

When Should You Stop Driving Immediately?

You should stop driving and switch off the engine if:

• The temperature warning light stays on
• The gauge goes into the red zone
• You see steam or smell something hot
• The car loses power suddenly

Continuing to drive, even for a short distance, can cause serious engine damage.
