A faulty exhaust system affects the engine performance and the driving power of a truck. Loud exhaust system can tire the driver and pollute the environment excessively. The diagnosis of the exhaust pipe and the entire exhaust system is recommended at least every 2-3 years, regardless of the intensity of vehicle use. By early detection of errors, more expensive repairs can be avoided. The Volvo FH driver did not immediately notice an increase in fuel consumption, a slight performance loss and a louder engine sound. But the traffic control officers heard the approaching semitrailer long before it came in sight and stopped the Volvo. After an inspection, they discovered serious defects in the truck's exhaust system that had to be remedied immediately. This is not the first time that the transport company's dispatchers have turned to the international breakdown service AWHelp24 for truck towing, the purchase of spare parts and repairs. But this time their truck had to be repaired directly at the breakdown point in Germany. The Volvo was parked near the city of Kassel on the A7 Autobahn. The AWHelp24 service staff accepted the order for an on-site repair and sent a team of mechanics to the truck location. The technicians were surprised because after starting the engine, there was an unpleasant smell of exhaust gas even in the driver's cab - how could the driver not have noticed? It was decided to completely replace some parts of the exhaust system: muffler, pipes, fasteners and brackets. All the necessary spare parts could be found in the warehouse of the online shop partsbit.de in Kassel. After the repair, the truck was able to pass the second inspection without any problems and continue its original journey. And our regular partners saved at least 30% on the cost of spare parts and repairs. Call our service hotline! Help is closer than you think!
