Mobile Truck Service in Wernigerode

A DAF XF 450 running empty from Magdeburg toward Goslar on the A36 pulled over near Wernigerode in Saxony-Anhalt at 08:05 on a Tuesday. An ABS warning had come on accompanied by a loss of trailer brake balance. The driver decided not to continue with an active brake system fault and called LKWHelp24 from the hard shoulder near the Wernigerode exit. The mobile mechanic drove from the Halberstadt direction and reached the truck in 55 minutes. He confirmed an ABS speed sensor fault on the front drive axle. The sensor had corroded internally, a common issue on vehicles running regularly through the Harz foothills where road salt and moisture are factors. The sensor was removed and a new unit fitted. After resetting the ABS module the system self-checked and cleared. The DAF was on the road again by 10:20 and continued toward Goslar to pick up the next load. The driver noted the mechanic also spotted a slightly worn air line fitting on the trailer coupling plate and secured it before leaving. The extra attention saved what could have been a further fault later in the day. The A36 between Quedlinburg and Goslar carries steady freight year-round and quick roadside support near Wernigerode keeps delays manageable.
