A Mercedes Actros 1844 suffered from engine issues in Eisenach, near Erfurt and was in need of a towing service and repairs. After we took the broken down truck to our truck workshop in the Autowelt GmbH, at 97618 Niederlauer, we performed a diagnosis and found that a piston was jammed in one of the zylinders, so we explained the extent of the repair to the client and ordered the required replacement parts.
Once the parts arrived, we unscrewed the oil pan, cleaned it out, drained the cooling water and pressed the liner out of the cylinder and removed the connecting rod, before removing the broken cylinder liner as well. Finally, we replaced the defective components with original replacement parts, fitted the new cylinder gasket, refilled the oil & water and added a fresh oil filter. Just like that, the OM501 was fully operational again.
