Took 7344M on sv14 this afternoon, heard the engine sounded
abnormal. It sounded like a voith, not zf. I though this bus is
supposed to have zf? I alighted and heard the engine from the
outside confirmed it is a voith. Got the signature whining
noise.isn't only 7401-7449 voith and the rest zf?
On the topic of CDGE B9TLs, got on 7370L on 14 also, and it was
vibrating like going to fall apart. Whatever happened to those
quiet and smooth B9TLs of 2007?
Some B9s supposedly have ZF, but when it accelerates and gears
up, it drags a bit more, and really sounds like a Voith. This
happens to some of the AM 72 B9s i frequent.
If you want the smooth B9s, could try the BR 88 or BB 147s (with
the loud roar of course)
