I thought that they were small Actros's. Trubster wrote:Just seen a symbol i don't recognise on the new VDO unit. When the ignition is off a diamond shape appears next to the driver card symbol Are you sure its not something as simple as a nought as the same symbol appears on the other side as 0km/hr Dont think so, look in the top picture vs the bottom picture in the OP Sorry, I'm being an idiot; just realised which symbol you meant!

I only noticed it a few weeks ago, when the tacho was playing up. The speed sensor was faulty and causing all sorts of grollies to appear - I'm not sure whether I only noticed it then because I was paying more attention, or if it was related to the fault. One PITA side effect of this fault was that at one point it flashed up a power interruption fault, which recorded on my card as the truck was moving at the time, so I now get this show up each time my card gets analysed Gary SENIOR MEMBER Posts: 1392 Joined: Fri Oct 15, 2010 10:58 pm Location: the cloakroom of the Marine Commando Club, Paddington. This is a link to download the handbooks for vdo tachos. If you scroll down to the English handbook for the 2.1 version of the DTCO and download it, then go to page 17, it tells you exactly what the symbol is for.

It seems like its some sort of GPS recording thingy. The link didn't work as I expected. You'll need to select the following first: Section 1- Tachograph. Section 2- Digital Tachograph Section 3- User Manuals. SENIOR MEMBER Posts: 3041 Joined: Sun Apr 04, 2010 8:42 pm Location: Glasgow.
