I did heard about the recent recall of 8033D and tested fine. I
had also took the bus and found that it is normal.
I believe it is not just the Adblue issue. Do explain why this
bus always breakdown when it comes back from HQ? Isn't checks
should be done completely? Last time, it was the SCR issue.
Putting all blames on SLBP workshop is also unfair. 8030L
is the only single bus in the SBST fleet, it is normal
that everyone will focus on this bus. Anyone, I do not
want to talk too much of it.
One friendly note, if its not 'Adblue issue', then what do these
messages mean (to you)?
"Stop Driving. Further driving will permanently damage
SCR system".
"AdBlue tank empty".
These were true messages displayed on SBS8030L in 2010, the most
recent only last week, and over the span of several withdrawal from
service. I do not post my previous statements without background
knowledge, if need be any 'investigations' many of the bus
enthusiasts and myself can testify.
Of course, not to forget to mention, when the top message was
displayed the bus was already belching out black smoke at first
gear start-off low rev.
Without Adblue chemicals, most likely the SCR catalyst tank will
clog up with soot and eventually exhaust will be discharged as-is.
Exhaust as-is meaning that its Euro 3 or below. Euro 3 or below
means its not the vehicle's certified exhaust emission. Being that,
NEA can start up an issue if there is a simple complaint of 'bus
belching out black smoke' plus the registration, 'SBS8030L'.
