What will be the timings for 8030L on sat/sun?
-
took the 8030L todae....all i can say is tht it sounds horrible than the last time. It now sounds like a scania & when it shifts to its 2nd or 3rd gear it sometimes makes somewhat a jerky sound. The gd points of it is tht the aircon is even better and stronger than the last time.

Anyone taking 8030 later.

The gearbox upshifts way too quickly. So much so that it can reach 5th or even 6th gear (cannot really discern between the gears too well) at like 30 - 40km/h. Which makes for a very jerky and jialat ride most of the time.

the gd thing about 8030L is the braking. Other than that, it is left to be desired.

One of the BC step the accerlerator fully, the bus actually vibrated as though the power exceeds the ability of the bus. lol.. -

yes. i suspect, other than 绑油, the gear ratios are totally mismatched, resulting in insufficient power especially when climbing the hill. whereas it could climb the holland rd flyover slip rd at 4th or 5th gear previously, now it moves at 15km/h on 2nd gear. it's really terrible. nobody likes to drive this bus now.

Good Turbocharger = Fast acceleration
Good Braking = Faster deceleration
Unproperly maintained ZF 6HP592C gearbox = Bus vibrating at start, problems with gradients. -

No BC on sv 174 and 174e would love to drive that bus now. Sometimes they would even want to exchange this bus for a spare merc, scania, leyland or exchange buses with their colleagues.

10yrs down the road I won't be surprised to see some KUB Euro IV Batch 1s having gear lock problems... Imagine a KUB gear lock on fifth/sixth gear... GG!!!
