Brakes and calipers on the AP-7, Figueres

The Figueres stretch packs exits 5 and 6, the N-II link into town and the industrial estate, plus the start of the express road towards Roses and the Costa Brava, into a short but busy section. Local traffic mixes with international transit, and a reduced-speed curve works brakes and suspension hard.

Brakes and calipers

A seized trailer caliper is the single most common fault that strands a truck in a service area. We free the caliper, replace discs and pads, repair air lines and fittings and change Knorr-Bremse and Wabco relay and modulator valves. Before we release you we check pressures on both circuits.

What to do while we are on the way

  • Look for smoke or a burning smell at any wheel
  • Check air tank pressure on the dashboard gauge
  • Tell us if the trailer locked up on the emergency brake

What never to do

  • Do not force it along with a wheel locked
  • Do not cool a red-hot disc with water
  • Do not fiddle with trailer valves you do not know

Common questions

Questions about this stretch

Most often it's the hard shoulder between exits 5 and 6, the N-II junction or inside the estate itself. If you can roll to a safe lay-by, say so on the call: that always beats the shoulder.
Yes, Figueres coverage includes the start of that road. Send us the location and on the call we confirm whether we take it or coordinate closer assistance.
On short climbs and stop-start queues we regularly see overheating and brake wear from constant use. We check the whole circuit on site before you continue.

A stopped truck earns nothing. We are leaving now.

One call, your location by WhatsApp, and an HGV mechanic on the way. No call centre in between.
