Volvo Truck Repair: Models, Engines and Common Problems
Volvo models we work on
VNL sleepers and day cabs (including the newer generation VNL), VNR regional tractors, and VNX heavy-haul units.D13 and D11 engines, I-Shift transmissions
Most Volvo tractors here run the D13, and some run the D11. Nearly all of them shift through the I-Shift automated manual. We diagnose and repair I-Shift shifting and clutch complaints along with manual gearboxes; see our semi truck transmission repair page.Problems we diagnose on Volvo trucks
Coolant loss and a bubbling surge tank on a D13 often point to the EGR cooler. We documented one of these jobs in Volvo D13 EGR cooler failure: why the surge tank bubbled. Other common Volvo work: DPF and SCR faults, NOx sensor and DEF dosing codes (DPF and aftertreatment repair), derates after an emissions fault, air leaks and air dryer problems, and electrical faults that set multiple warnings at once (truck electrical repair). For everything else we fix on Volvo trucks, see our semi truck repair shop in Matthews.
