Mobile Truck Service in Bornheim

Shortly after 7 a.m., a Volvo FH 500 pulling a box trailer started showing a coolant temperature warning on the outskirts of Bornheim. The driver, Alina, spotted steam rising from the front of the cab and immediately found a safe spot on a quiet side road running parallel to the main route toward Bonn. She called LKWHelp24 and described the situation clearly. The mechanic arrived in 42 minutes. A visual check found a split on the lower coolant hose at the radiator inlet, a failure typical of older Volvo FH hoses under sustained motorway load. The engine had not yet overheated, which was lucky: the temperature gauge had barely touched the warning threshold before Alina stopped. The hose itself needed replacing rather than patching. The technician had a compatible hose on the van. He drained the residual coolant, fitted the new hose, refilled the system with premixed coolant and checked for air pockets by running the engine through a warm-up cycle on the roadside. No further leaks, temperature stable. Alina was back on the road toward Troisdorf inside 80 minutes of the initial stop. The repair was done in Bornheim, without any involvement from a recovery truck, and the load reached Sankt Augustin only an hour behind schedule.
