Truck Repair Man

The oldest known to date, the MAN truck company began its history more than two centuries ago, more precisely in 1758. But only a little over 100 began production of trucks. Historically, a company with such a history has an experience incomparable with competitors, because they launched a direct injection diesel engine almost a hundred years ago.

Now the production of trucks is located in four European countries, Austria, Turkey, Poland, Great Britain and the main one in Germany.

The truck manufacturer MAN offers carriers four main types of trucks:

MAN TGX – truck tractors and classic “loners” with the maximum level of comfort for the driver, a payload of 15 to 70 tons, used for both national and international long-haul cargo transportation. Three cabs, XL, XLX and XXL provide spacious conditions for the driver to work and live;

MAN TGS semitrailer tractors, classic loners, dump trucks and various construction equipment on MAN chassis with a payload of 18 to 70 tons meet the special requirements they face in difficult and difficult operating conditions, for work on construction sites and transport over short distances. There is a choice of three compact cabs: M, L and LX;

MAN TGM – medium-duty trucks, including classic “loners” and MAN TGM trucks with a payload of 7 to 26 tons – the optimal solution for light transportation over short and intracity distances, and long-haul transportation, as well as for trucks on a construction site.

The MAN TGL are light-duty, multifunctional trucks ideal for a wide range of applications, from urban transport to transport on construction sites.

Repair of MAN trucks (MAN) is not very difficult with the correct initial diagnosis of MAN trucks on special equipment and the availability of special tools and devices. Most often, the masters at the Alex-Auto service station are faced with questions about the chassis and air suspension.

When buying a car, the manufacturer offers a choice of two types of suspension – leaf spring, more reliable, or optional rear air suspension. And if the manufacturer immediately warns about the “reliability” of the MAN4 air suspension, compared to the spring one, then it’s worth thinking about and drawing conclusions. Of course, the air suspension provides more comfort and protection against vibrations under different loads. But in the conditions of domestic roads, you need to be prepared for periodic scheduled inspections and diagnostics of the MAN air suspension, the repair of which will not take long without proper care.

It should be noted that the pneumatic system of MAN trucks is highly reliable, but it also requires periodic diagnostics and repairs. The repair itself does not present any difficulty and is carried out quite quickly, as it comes down to the standard replacement of failed nodes. The most common malfunction of the pneumatic system on MAN trucks is the fact when, after a run of 50 thousand km. compressors begin to drive oil into the pneumatic system, and after 100 thousand km it breaks through the gaskets under the compressor heads and air begins to flow into the cooling system. In such cases, the masters of the service station Alex-Auto repair the compressor and flush / purge both the pneumatic system and the cooling system.

If we recall our frequent guests, then we see MAN TGAs visiting for repairs and maintenance most often. German quality is quite legendary, but this does not mean at all that these German trucks are devoid of traditional automotive “weaknesses” – as you know, any equipment breaks down. Repair MAN TGA (MAN TGA) was no exception to this rule. But in general, the main components of these cars are very reliable and durable.

So MAN diesel engines are considered among the best. They are reliable in operation, economical, environmentally friendly and, which is important for us, repairmen, provide free maintenance of all mounted units. Nevertheless, these engines also need maintenance and overhaul. But before carrying out repairs, it is necessary to carry out a complete diagnosis of the engine, which includes:

– determination of the degree of wear of engine parts;
– determination of the condition of the crankshaft journals and the presence of burrs on them;
– control of the geometry of the cylinder head and cylinder block;
– testing the cylinder head for leaks; – checking the condition of the valves, their guides and thermal gaps.

STO Alex-Auto repairs all the main units of tractors MAN:

— MAN engine repair;
— repair of the fuel system
— repair of the running gear, air suspension and pneumatic system;

— MAN gearbox repair.

Computer diagnostics of cars MAN

At the Alex-Auto service station, computer diagnostics of MAN cars is performed using a certified dealer autoscanner Man Cats – II, which has successfully proven itself in the European market and is widely used by leading service stations. Computer diagnostics of MAN trucks with the help of Man Cats – II allows you to identify a malfunction with high accuracy and draw up a plan and direction of repair work.
