Daf truck repair

A small look into the history of the DAF brand. Starting in 1928, the DAF company, founded by Hubert van Doorn, first began to produce tractor and car trailers. After the war, not only the direction of activity changed, but the name itself began to correspond to the type of activity – the Van Doorne’s Automobiel Fabriek in the original spelling, so the abbreviation DAF (DAF), widely known to carriers around the world, was obtained … With Dutch roots, DAF is making major strides across all continents, acting as an industry leader in introducing freight transport with Euro 5 standards.

Despite the fact that DAF produces equipment even for the army of the Netherlands, there is no such equipment that DAF would not break. DAF trucks are no exception. DAF trucks need repairs no less than other foreign trucks. DAF LF, CF, XF, which we repair, have their own characteristics, but their wide distribution on our roads has led to the Alex-Auto service station masters gaining vast experience in their repair. So even in the legendary DAF XF95-105 series of trucks, famous among carriers, above all for the size of its cab, engines that perfectly cope with high loads, bad roads and, frankly, disgusting fuel at our gas stations, their impressive, reliable and economical 12.9-liter PACCAR MX300 engine needs periodic maintenance and repair.

Diagnostics and repair of trucks DAF (DAF) 95XF and 105XF are quite laborious in technical terms and require specialists of a narrow profile, special equipment and special tools. Foremen of the Alex-Auto service station most often have to deal with the widely used trucks of the DAF LF, CF and XF series, the maintainability of which was undoubtedly considered as a separate cost item when developing the DAF truck. The main part of the problems inherent in DAF vehicles (DAF) arises from the peculiarities of operation in the conditions of our roads. First of all, the cab air suspension suffers, the clutch also suffers, which often requires the replacement of the entire assembly (basket, disc, support and release bearing). As for the chassis and engine, these components and assemblies are very reliable, even despite domestic operating conditions.

A series of DAF city trucks that comply with EURO 5 standards added a headache to the owners and masters of the Alex-Auto service station with their rather sophisticated electronics. After all, it is known that the more complex the equipment and the more electronic components it contains, the more often breakdowns occur and the more qualified personnel and expensive equipment are required to diagnose and repair DAF trucks.
