Hi guys ,my 19 plate Daf Cf has developed a strange problem.
The truck drives great but after using the pto for 10 minutes or longer (builders merchant truck with rear crane) after the pto is switched off again between 5 and 20 minutes later during driving the pto tries to re engage,this as you can imagine doesent go down with the auto box and some loud grating noises occur but after a couple of seconds all returns to normal.
When it happens the warning “pto 1 malfunction” appears on the dashboard.
The truck has been into Daf at Bellshill 3 times and they cannot find a problem
The latest episode happened today and the truck seemed to be trying to engage the pto despite the fact that the ignition was off(our trucks drop the rear air suspension and lift the rear mud flaps when the pto is engages and you could hear the air trying to do this)
Sorry for the long post I was wondering if anyone else had heard of this problem
Thanks for any advice Duncan
