What Now! More Problems SCANIA S 580 V8 - Back in Garage again...

Too many sensors in them these days that's the problem

Never had these problems with my 142 🤣 Absolute madness these modern vehicles.

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.

When I had a 580 the boss said at bottom Saddleworth knock it down a gear and put in it manual. Let it scream going up there. The exhaust systems now days clog so easy

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.

Hi Stavros matey 👍 it's mark from Wirral Merseyside 👍 really enjoyed watching your YouTube 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 👍👍

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 !!!

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!

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

A big V8 on local work will always be a problem. The DPF needs to be kept hot to burn everything…also reduce you idle time… love the videos

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

Snowball effect. What will be next? Keep up the great work Stavros 👍👍

Cheers Stavros. Great video

M glad to see South Africann driver... M also watching these video from SA

Hope you get a nice trouble free run going now Stavros lad 👍

Good luck with the lorry Stavros. I drive a 2017 fh which has had its fair share of dpf sensor faults, but been a good truck overall

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

Fair play Ger fitz 👍

The Scania V8 140 till 143 did 3 million kilometres without any problems.

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.
