I hope that you guys can stop all these before this discussion
board being brought into investigation.
During their recent recall, they didn't dectet radiator roars
and engine was normal while road test was done. The vibration was
ok. I took this bus 2 weeks ago, I didn't hear the bus
roaring but the radiator is rather loud when it is on idle mode.The
broken cushions is just a small part if I didn't forget.
If a bus that pop up error message that just come back
from the HQ. It tells us the job done at HQ is not
complete. To me, 8030L gearbox is tuned similar to KUB
one. I dun see an issue.
In fact, an unexpected ride with my friend exposed many badly
maintained buses. 8477G is one of them with super thick layer of
dust on the filter or A/C unit plus interior full of black
dust. Gearbox was not tuned properly. This adds on to SBS 8507D
which had thick layer of dust on the filter or A/C unit. SBS 8091K
is another vibration king.
You see how the driver move off and stop sometimes and you will
feel the jerk.
You want this to go into investigation, including your knowledge
that there is a recall and you had knowledge of the results of the
road test?
I'm sure Volvo workshop personnel will not be happy to see this,
especially with all the signs that the bus seems to be operated
without Adblue, which is not within their control. For your
information, Adblue needs to be filled as often as once every 2
days for local operating conditions. Volvo workshop can't station
someone to just bring a container of Adblue to fill it at SLBP
every 2 days at best.
If you're not able to maintain the bus, maybe you should send
your bus out instead of throwing all the blame on Volvo workshop,
especially if you're not part of SLBP W/S you should not be sowing
seeds of discontent between the two parties without any of them
raising an official complaint.
