How long is a while and what weather conditions were during the while it was parked?

I am no expert, but lorry brake systems are sensitive to any leaks as well as rusting....if it happened quickly (overnight?) I tend to think it was a leak......

If it was some weeks or longer, then rust....

My best guess....

You need expert help.....brakes are not for the amateur....

Try and visit your nearest mercedez dealership or repair shop. They will have facilities to read your truck's ECU and pin point the problem. Actros has a lot of microprocessor controls/electronics and I would recommend you don't do any guess work. The earlier Axor models were much simpler to maintain and most problems could be solved by road side shops, but not Actros.
