Hi Stavros, another top video Adblue systems have a lot to answer for these days. Having issues with my Daf XF480 it's in the shop for inspection and Test 😧 see what tomorrow brings. CHEERS !!!

As we say down our way “That’s a proper lemon” Not just Scania’s , the comp any I drive for have been 100% Daf for over thirty years, but they’ve experienced so many problems with the Euro 6 versions , they’ve switched to M.A.N. Think the moral is, I don’t think the premium you pay for a Scania these days is justified.

Basically all euro 6 trucks suck ass in terms of reliability.

If you think that your Scania is giving you issues my friend, try driving a Pete 579 from PACCAR. I drive one here in Alberta, Canada and I’ve had it since new in 2020. The number of electrical and sensor issues in this truck would’ve bankrupt me if I were an owner operator. Thank goodness I’m a company driver, lol!

Hi Stavros matey 👍 it's mark from Wirral Merseyside 👍 really enjoyed watching your KZread video about your truck problems and i really hope that you don't get anymore. But i definitely agree with you truck manufactures they should be looking at engine problems on trucks so that all trucks are more reliable. Keep up the great work Stavros matey 👍 and it's very much appreciated 👍👍 thanks from mark from Wirral Merseyside 👍👍

I must admit I’ve been surprised with the poor build quality of the next gen R series I drive. Buttons and switches falling to pieces, the door trim around the mirror/light controls all coming off, the seat and arm rests have a mind of their own, head lights and indicators coming loose/letting in moisture etc.. It’s only a ‘19 plate and has been looked after very well considering we do walking floor work.

Semes the doehard scanny boys are keeping quiet these days as the vail progressively slips and they breakdown on them! The old saying "you won't be late in a Scanny V8" is very much true now, you won't be late because your not going to arrive at all.

If you’re getting that urea build up, in the US we call it ammonia slip, it could be several things. You’re injecting too much, that is fixed with calibration. If you’re consistently running at a high rpm, you slip more ammonia as well. High idle time will slip ammonia. On the European market you guys have access to Cerium based fuel catalysts. In the US we only have ferrocene catalysts. I’ve had great results with ferrocene, but Cerium is superior. It will greatly reduce soot and Nox, reducing Nox reduces DEF consumption. I’m in the middle of an order on a Navistar truck that will have the super 13 in it. Same engine you guys have, just different tuning for the US market. I’m very excited about it. As far as cleaning the ammonia slip, if you have those services that clean DPFs in an ultrasonic tank, they can clean the DOC, turbos, EGR Valve, EGR cooler, all that stuff in those tanks. I have a Navistar truck with the A26, it’s the same engine you see in the latest MAN trucks, the 13L. I have 655k US miles on it, and zero issues.

Mine always had ad blu problems.....got a new s660 what a machine ....

Very interesting to see bread-and-butter issues. Very annoying though problems are, they do employ a lot of people to fix them. 🙂

950 rpm at 90 kmh one would have think that the engine is revving to low to put enough heat into the DPF unit. And that is causing all the problems with the modern truck engines, and I talking about all brand of trucks. Hi from Australia.

Fair play Ger fitz 👍

The thing with regenerating particulate filters is that it's the kph figures need to be higher as atmospheric force is required a car or van is alright as they can do 120kph.

TBF to all the truck manufacturers, all the emissions equipment being put on the trucks was all the work of our lovely governments around the world. But honestly, they're trying to lower RPMs on the ground of fuel consumption which is only leading to MORE emission problems. Lower RPMs mean the engine is under less load at cruising speeds, hence forcing alot more regens to clear the DPF. Their research departments, all of them, need a sending to the sun.

I got the brand new s560 super Stavros it's amazing I love it

Hello stavros from the lads on the sprinter!! The last of the v6 😢

After changing dpf injector and sensor give more rev until the engine heated and check obd again

Like others have said adblue needs heat and fuel moving through the motor, adblue doesn't do anything at idle though. Scania's have always been junk imo, Running a full tank of water through the adblue system makes a huge difference every now and then. You'll also be shocked how much adblue it starts using afterwards because it's clean.

Reminds me of the Maxxforce engines, absolute nightmare.

When it comes to tractors with tag axles, you want the fifth wheel as far forward as you can so you get your weights right. Take a look at tractors in Sweden, Norway and Finland, the fifth wheel is pretty much always as forward as you can have them. You will also need to regen way more when you have a bigger engine than needed for it's loads since the engine never really works, if you work the engine properly, the need for regens are greatly reduced.

@rosen9425

Жыл бұрын

That doesn't sound right at all. Depends on trailer length and weight. You have to make sure the axel load on the truck isn't over legal limits but also for stability. This means you def need to move the fifth wheel depending on the variety of trailers used

@Skusty

Жыл бұрын

@@rosen9425 it is very much correct if you want to reach full load capacity without overloading your axles, if you keep the fifth wheel to the rear you will overload your drive and tag, if you move it forward you move a lot of the weight to the steering axle. Most companies buy trucks with 8 or 9ton front axles up here in the north, our trailers generallly has the landing gear moved back so you can keep the fifth wheel further and the trailer axles are moved back to put more weight on the truck.

Give a iveco 570 a go,crap trim so keep the cab protetive plastic to protect the driver from falling trim,but they don't seem to stop

Talking to a scania fitter he said there have been a load of issues with companies or drivers having big v8 but pulling light loads on a regular basis or mixed loads these engines need to be worked hard so on max weights most of the time Mabee a inline 6 around 500 hp would have been more suitable as the company I work for have these pulling 40 tons plus never had a single issue and we have a big fleet, I know the v8 sounds nice but is it worth the hassle

So after changing the sensor did they delete the fault code or it cleared itself

Parked regens, especially on american trucks which have horrible designed DEF (AdBlue) systems only do so much before the filter gets so gunked up it has to be either replaced or blasted out by a shop. But your trucks lasted much longer than any american truck I've drove with under 130k miles having twice the amount of DEF issues, and other junk. I get the troubles, but your trucks still beat our by years!
