Hello to all brake professionals , Today we had a problem with an Actros MP 4. The tractor is currently standing in the workshop and the truck master has no precise explanation. To the problem: Our driver calls, and complains that the tyre pressure of the inner tires of the HA constantly rises. When stopping in the parking lot the brakes of the HA are both hot. All other axles are cold. Now he has paused for 2 hours and then drove 7 km to the next workshop. There, the HA was again Mercedes had him saddled off and the SZM checked. The machine drives perfectly in solo operation and becomes neither hot nor was any error read out. Then our driver was sent away again. The master blabbed something with ABS in his beard and wished for a nice weekend. Of course the driver called again after 15 min, which the HA became hot again. Due to the casual statement of the master I recommended the driver to pull off the ABS cable… …. and see, he came the 200 km to the home workshop. The HA of the SZM was cold. Now my question…. what the hell can that be? Maybe someone has a advice. Tomorrow morning Mercedes falls on the trailer. But what do I do if MB has no solution. Still to the info: Tractor is an Actros MP4 (5 years old) and an HRD semitrailer (5 years old). The vehicle is loaded with 22 t. For your answers thank you in advance Mario

Moin moin, I would like to make my private move with a 12ton (i.e. 11.99t zGG). I have a few questions and I thought the best way to ask the experts: 1 – Do I need a driver’s card? On private trips, it goes without, doesn’t it? I would be interested in the legal basis in particular, so that I can read it in road traffic law, understand it and understand it. 2 – Do I have to keep driving times? 3 – Toll only goes from 12t, was it right? 4 – Otherwise still what to consider? Greetings Matze

Hi, we have a MAN TGL8.180 as a fire truck (Automatic, BJ 2010, ~5Tkm). Actually, he always has the problem that he sometimes stays in first gear and turns to the speed limiter (manually switching is not possible, kickdown does not bring anything). If the problem occurs you have to stop, switch neutral and then start again If you turn into the forward gear, for example, while he is still rolling backwards, he does not insert the first gear at all, that is known (is already stupidly prog I have the impression that the problem only occurs when you are in a hurry. So either the switch (if it is operated a bit swinging) is jamming the software, or it has to stand >1s before you switch forward from backwards. At the service it was already found twice, of course nothing (software was updated). Recently a colleague (professional driver) told me, that would be normal, have all MAN. Don’t be, huh? What the fuck is this? Does anyone know that? Thanks. Greetings Metalhead

Good morning forum, I am recently proud owner of a Scania 142 year 1987 and would like to register this as a classic car. I am not a trained screwdriver, but I have no 2 left hands. Before I clear the points with the TÜV I am at the exchange of all liquids on the vehicle. Oils are changed except the rear axle and the servo all. Now I have a problem with the cooling liquid. I have (a large part?) dropped the cooling liquid at the deepest point of the system Now the liquid no longer circulates towards the engine. The cooler stays cold and the engine gets warm. I have the feeling that it has something to do with the thermostat and/or with the ventilation. Unfortunately, I did not find any precise instructions in the net, maybe someone can help me here? Thank you in advance Volkmarov

Servus you love I know a difficult topic but don’t find anything suitable in the net that’s why I turn to you I own the above license but I’m independent in a completely different industry and now the question Should I use my license or can I earn money with it??? Are not many entrepreneurs looking for someone who has that? I wouldn’t have been dependent on the coal right now, but last time someone at CCS airport (cargo city south) approached me and therefore would like to know what you think of it? Supposedly per lkw to 800 euro!

Moin together, unfortunately a more than stupid misadventure happened to me. I tipped about 10 liters AdBlue into the diesel tank with a rental vehicle (Mercedes Benz 816 Bj. 2014 ). So this is when you drive after several years again trucks and then get also still incomplete information at the tank … I then drove about 2 km to the place of the provider and then the vehicle went out already. But the engine turned still. Now I got the invoice over 7500,- Euro !?! The damage was fixed by a MB contract workshop. Lt this invoice was based on a fixed price package and probably the whole fuel plant replaced. Even pipes have been completely renewed… No prices for parts or services can be seen from the invoice. My question to you: Is this procedure normal? Isn’t it rather the case that the parts are cleaned and flushed? What makes me stubborn is the long workshop time of 13 days. does not even need my workshop if it has to order parts from Sweden for my old Volvo… Would be nice if someone could help me with my questions.

Hello Kolegas, I think we need a Reno-Thred in which you can ask questions about this brand (I mean less “Why does my mirror heating in the Magnum e-tech not work more than ask about the vehicle history). I hope that I can also contribute a little bit, and I hope that’s fine (…@mods). And here’s my first question: For the “Major” series from 1990 on in the R-series there were 4 drivers’ houses: Turboliner, Duplex …and how do the other two raise? LG Thom ed

Hello, maybe you can help me. It’s about an Actros 1846 SZM with automatic transmission. The gearbox is a Powershift II (G281-12). Running power: 475000km. The problem is that the gearbox, especially in thrust mode, cracks or snaps. It sounds like you’re breaking a plastic ruler. But even sporadically, not always. He does this in all gears. One might think he wants to put in a gear, even though there is one in it, or as if a shifting socket is in it. The strange thing about the whole story is that the error is only mostly reproducible when driving backwards left in the circle. The rear axle, cardan shaft, retarder, as well as the rear group can be excluded, which I checked in the most catchy way. I also had the same problem with another gear control unit ->. The in the workshop can also do no rhyme on what the auc h could only be in the remotest place. (4 different) But everyone says it definitely comes out of the gearbox. And now the very best thing is: he switches butter soft, always finds the gear, inserts it also problemlessly and it has never flown out a gear. I hope someone can help me and knows the described problem. Thank you. LG Timo

Hello, I have been looking for a compressor refrigerator from a MAN TGA or TGX for a caravan for a long time. Since I have seen in various ads that they are also sold under 12/24 volts capable, have signed up with me doubts whether they are really over 12 volts to operate. Can someone provide reliable information here? I would also be grateful about an offer.

We have different Actros new as Euro5 and Euro6 running The vehicles have more or less faults to make the workshop stays necessary Tell us if your vehicles also have faults Lt MB branch are these problems Individual cases that only occur with our Fz I can’t imagine the problems cable breaks, motor interference light in connectionSCR, injectors, additional consumers switch off, noises, retarders etc I hope for active participation so that I can get the We The Court of Justice of the European Communities
