Mobile truck repair in Ljubljana

What the road does to a truck around Ljubljana

The Ljubljana ring is the busiest piece of road in Slovenia and the only place in the country where a heavy truck spends real time in stop-start traffic. The A1 and A2 meet here and share the ring with local commuter traffic, so a loaded vehicle can sit at walking pace through Kozarje or Malence for twenty minutes at a time. That is not a mechanical problem in itself, but it is the condition under which marginal components stop being marginal.

What we are called out for here

These are the faults that turn up most often around Ljubljana, and they follow directly from the road above. Knowing which one you have before you call means we load the right parts before we leave.

1. 01 Clutch wear and slipping — the ring is where a tired clutch finally gives up, because it is the only place a long-haul truck does hundreds of engagements in an hour.
2. 02 Cooling under load at low speed — no ram air, a full trailer and a gradient at Kozarje is the combination that shows up a marginal fan clutch or a partly blocked radiator.
3. 03 Air system leaks — constant brake applications in queues empty a system that holds fine at motorway speed.
