    Mercedes Lorry Tractor unit.

    It does drive forward but won’t move to neutral or reverse, it doesn’t build air for the gear change, even when manually aired up it doesn’t want to change out of drive.

    Mercedes Lorry Tractor unit.

    Ah ok, is it a fairly easy job to do ? Anything to look out for/check. Does it throw any particular fault code ? I think the gear box is an electro pneumatic, so presumably needs some kind of air as well as electrical shift ? I think I’ve found a place that re builds them, so may give them a...

    Mercedes Lorry Tractor unit.

    Didn’t bother to look into the fix ? Is that how you heard the modulator could be faulty ? just out of interest what would I expect for an export price for an actros with this issue, it’s a 2013 plate.

    Mercedes Lorry Tractor unit.
