Brakes and calipers on the AP-7, Girona

Girona is the biggest junction on the entire corridor: the AP-7 meets the A-2 towards Madrid/Lleida and the C-65 to the coast, with the Girona Nord and Girona Sud links at exits 7 to 9. All that lane-changing produces side impacts and suspension knocks, and the service area there is our usual meeting point.

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

Questions about this stretch

Girona Sud, where A-2 and coast flows merge. Late lane changes end in scrapes and hammered suspensions. If you're forced to stop, head for the service area.
Stay put with your lights on and send us your location: we know both branches. Don't try to roll to the junction itself — it's the worst possible stopping point.
