9839 and 9841
-
It seems that 9839 and 9841 have problems . I was at AMK with FS today , 9841 had difficult reversing out as we could see from far the warning lights when the driver was trying to reverse the bus , after a stuggle , the driver drove out smoothly . 9839 , the driver told us that the fuel had a bit of problem , i am not too sure about it .
Among all the 984X series , 9847R is the best VSO bus so far . -
The driver say that on the slope of S'goon Ave 2, the diesel or fuel could not get into the engine (or get into something) and thus making the bus stalling for a while. I think this is what he meant.
-
Actually, the VSOs' fuel flow are being limited! That is the reason why 9839 had problems when the fuel was injecting into the engine. As for 9841, I think the reverse gear had some problem.
-
As usual, we all know the problem(s) with SBS 9840J.

I dont think there is anything wrong to post this topic . (Airbus330)
-
Hmm, what do you mean, Yanxin?

However, it seemed that it has been fixed after the complain! Now it's greater than ever. However SBS 9839P starts to have some problem now whereby the aircon distribution isn't proportionate.Originally posted by SBS9818A:As usual, we all know the problem(s) with SBS 9840J. -
Damn, it seems that the 984x series B10TLs are lemons/dogs/bombs/heaps of sh*t. But then, they all are!Originally posted by Airbus330Captain:It seems that 9839 and 9841 have problems .

Sorry, i couldn't resist, guys.

Ohh talking about that , m0405 buses has been having engine problems lately . I saw this bus 54 ( forgot the rego ) , broke down twice in 2 weeks , the bus needed to be towed by a tow truck , some buses has difficult starting engines . Look at the faces of drivers driving scania and mercedes and LO 3 axles drivers , their faces tells the story .....
If you think Volvo buses are so problematic , wait till u look at Scania N113 or Mercedes 0405 .
Enough said .
Every bus has their own problems . -

Since you are such a smart kid , go and form your own company and build your own buses and engines , lets see how good your product is . Stop talking , action speaks louder then words . -
Every bus has their own problems. That is TRUE but I don't remember LO 3 axles, Scania N113CRBs and O405s breaking down when they are BARELY a month old! Don't judge a driver's opinion of the bus he is driving by his face, for all we know he could be having some problems, NOT WITH THE BUS and but due to other factors.Originally posted by Airbus330Captain:Ohh talking about that , m0405 buses has been having engine problems lately .

Well, if Windy were to set up a bus manufacturing company, IMO he would be MORE STRINGENT than Volvo, making sure the buses do not BREAK DOWN or SCREW UP within a month of deployment! -
Whoa....it is an opinion I hold....don't be too defensive. And even if I was to build engines and gearboxes, it'd be fore Mercedes Benz, and it would involve hub reduction, a SMOOTH gearbox with LOUD gearchange noises, a nice purring and GUTSY in-line six cylinder turbocharged engine, capable of being quiet at high speeds, but not too quiet, and can maintain top speeds of 180km/h on the autobahns and freeways, and UN-GOVERNED. It would also have LOUD hub reduction. And a good and COMFORTABLE driver's seat, a driving position that is NOT TOO HIGH, and ergonomically GOOD for the driver. Also, the window height shouldn't be too HIGH for the passengers. It would have bonded windows, and a double leaf glideaway door system (like that of the Hispano O.405s) which SLAM loudly and quickly, and a centre door of the jackknife type, like the front doors of the UD U31SCN/RCN.Originally posted by Airbus330Captain:Windy :

Now, if you respect my opinions, then fair enough.
If only I had the qualifications to be an engineer, but hey, it's only a dream... -

Fully! I agree! The Scanias, Mercs, M.A.Ns, UD's and the Leylands are the most reliable buses. The old Volvo B57's were also very reliable. Throw in a few computer gadgetry, and a few other fancy stuff, and you get an increased margin for error, and hence, a greater chance of breakdowns and failures.

Yeah, unlike our mates at SBST who see themselves fit to tinker around with the chassis, bringing down a good quality chassis, to a hulk of scrap metal moving along the roads at a snail's pace.

Well, I think this time, the VSOs are having much problems because of settings done to the buses. Those settings might cause some adaptation problems on the bus itself. If the buses' settings are not adjusted, I am sure that the bus would run well in its original condition. Windy, I like your idea of the bus that you have imagined. It would be a nice bus!

Windy, are you insane? 180km/h on a bus? Even I find that too FANTASTIC.Originally posted by Windy_hates_B10TLs:Whoa....it is an opinion I hold....don't be too defensive.

Well, what can I say. Almost every one of us is guilty of that.

I did take that particular bus (9841), and went past that particular place (the slope on Serangoon Avenue 2 connecting to Upper Serangoon Road), and there seems to be no problem with the bus whatsoever...Originally posted by off_service:The driver say that on the slope of S'goon Ave 2, the diesel or fuel could not get into the engine (or get into something) and thus making the bus stalling for a while.

We are saying SBS 9839. SBS 9841 had troubles reversing at Ang Mo Kio Int the other time. I presume the bus is OK now.Originally posted by pkchukiss:I did take that particular bus (9841), and went past that particular place (the slope on Serangoon Avenue 2 connecting to Upper Serangoon Road), and there seems to be no problem with the bus whatsoever... -
Right now, both buses do not have these problems. They can run well now.
