Part Number: 81255090157
Description:
Genuine MAN steering column exhaust brake stalk switch for heavy commercial vehicles. This lever mounts on the steering column inside the cab and is used by the driver to control the engine/exhaust brake function. The part corresponds to MAN OE numbers 81.25509-0157 and 81255090157, with known equivalent references 81255090150, Febi Bilstein 101835 and Stellox 8807807SX. Catalogues and aftermarket listings describe this component as a Lenkstockhebelschalter / stalk switch for exhaust brake, suitable for a wide range of MAN trucks including TGA, TGL, TGM, TGS and TGX models with Euro 4, Euro 5 and Euro 6 engines.
The switch features a black plastic lever with exhaust brake symbol and ON/OFF arrows, mounted to a robust cast metal base and sealed to the column with a rubber collar. A short wiring tail with 3-pin red connector provides simple plug-in connection to the vehicle harness. Application data from specialist truck parts suppliers confirms use on multiple MAN platforms: TGA long-haul tractors, TGL distribution trucks, TGM middleweight chassis, and TGS/TGX heavy tractor units.
Our used unit was removed from a fully operational truck and the exhaust brake function was checked on the vehicle prior to dismantling. After removal the part underwent visual inspection and basic electrical continuity checks. There are minor cosmetic signs of use on the stalk and housing but no cracks, breaks or missing pieces. The connector and wiring are intact and free from corrosion. This makes it a cost‑effective replacement when the original stalk is intermittent, broken or damaged.
