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.

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, 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 !!!

Hi Stavros matey 👍 it's mark from Wirral Merseyside 👍 really enjoyed watching your RU-vid 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 👍👍

Cheers Stavros. Great video

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

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. 🙂

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

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

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

Fair play Ger fitz 👍

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.

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.

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

Reminds me of the Maxxforce engines, absolute nightmare.

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

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.

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

Love the videos brother

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

Hi stavros i have been watching your videos since 2018 now am here in ireland hope to become truker like you

Nice one Stavros Time to move her on

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.

Hello Stav' ... Yes today we all meet problems with our trucks , whatever is the make , and most of time due to this f*** 'adblue and exhaust system ....we all should fit a " by-pass" but I'm not sure that we' ll be well accepted around us 😂 ... Anyway, friend of mine driving for a big compagny, 100 % v8 with Chéreau, also meet same problems as you on many of their trucks and it seems ( IT SEEMS ...) that' s because they do not run with maximum weight very often .. Take care mate . Greatings from Brittany.

There you go, that's modern Volkswagen quality

The most common place for a Scania is a Garage.They cannot pass a sevice point to HELLO to the mecanics

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.

If you ever get to see a showman tractor unit look an see where the fifth wheel is set .

7-23-23 USA Hey Stavros.....................keep the iron rolling "if you can" !!!!!

Could have a heater plug breaking down.

Tag axle is even good in winter. We in Scandinavia are driving tractor units with tag axle.

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

I can't believe this!

Had a 520 scania did the same it's a tap since

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

What cameras are those that you put on your windscreen

I love the accent. ❤

Stavros, great videos mate. I just wondered why you run the V8 when you can get the L6 in almost similar power to yours?

That is definitely a heater plug or as they call it glow plug breaking down.

One of the reasons companies like Edison Motors exist😊❤

well Stavros you must remember these things are sent to try us

Well Stavros you may need to start thinking about going back to electric again lol

It looks like you've gotten a "good old" Monday morning truck. A newish vehicle that's always having problems, but just never enough to have it replaced.

Would be very nice to see a video about all the trucks you have ever drove in RLT in your career, i am sure you have some old footage and would be nice for you to remember all of the trucks and the work you used to do... Cheers.

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!

That guy from South Africa 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦

Cool trucks!!! Iveco isn't a truck, it's a toilet.... 🤣. Anyway why not try the new Volvo FH-truck???

Nice video ❤❤❤❤❤❤ to best of 🇹🇿🇹🇿🇹🇿🇹🇿🇹🇿🇹🇿😊

Morning my brother

Wait, Did he say 13 cylinder? What kind of experiments does nolan have going? What's that torque rating on that beast? 🤔 lol love your content!

Man, you look like Bruce Dickinson, from Iron!

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

Think I’ll just stick with my Daf wagon and drag 460 , 12 reg 👍👍

DPF and ADCRAP

You may see about getting a volvo

Stavros your tolls are dirt cheap! In South Africa you can pay up to R600 at some toll gates. Thats about €30

What I don't like with all these DPF issues is what are we the drivers breathing in , if engines cannot deal with it What are our lungs doing , just look at the crystallisation at ad blu pumps to think ...mmmm is this right ?

I was gonna comment on the last video would it be time for a new bus

Count to 5 …… deep breath….. stay sane !!!

Never been the same since vw bought them

My company gave me a new Mercedes Sprinter minibus for a couple of years ago. The engine lamp lit already the first day. The reason was malfunction of «NOX sensor no.2». I drove about 15k km before it was fixed.

Hahahaha I didn’t know you are Greek, because I’m me too👍

Scania will get you into a truck with no dpf problems when you trade in next year! Stavros. 250 to 350 km between charges! I know you're gonna love it! 😂

Welcome to the volkswagen era

I’m sure I was told/heard that there is different grades of AdBlue. A lot of the problems we have with trucks is to do with the AdBlue we use. (Can’t remember if it was DAF or Merc who told me that or I’m just dreamt it haha)

Was forever having the adblue system flushed on a DAF LF. My Golf GT was needing a regeneration every now and again.

It’s the same with modern cars as well…..as soon as one gizmo shows a fault, suddenly all the either gizmo’s start showing faults as well….it’s as if they are all interconnected and one single fault just starts off a chain reaction…..too much electronics ….

These exsust systems seem to be the cause of all the jip these days

OK Stavros as you run a mixed fleet which is the better when it comes to reliability as they’re all infested with euro 6 garbage, of course could be other issues such as build quality etc. it does appear Scania is no longer top dog, what do you think?

I'm a fitter for one of the UK,s biggest bus companies, we run a lot of scania buses and they all give problems with adblu and blocked DPF,s and also electrical problems, IMHO scania aren't the company they used to be, I'm not saying the other bus manufacturers are problem free but scania are by far the worst, it's a shame because when I worked as a truck fitter when the 2, 3 and 4 series scania,s were still being used I would have said they were a great truck, not so sure now....

Time for a volvo😂

CHEEEEÈEEEEEEEERSSS 😂😂😂

.........but but but its more green /irony off....

Scania series 3 only oil and diesel.

You drove by me today

Even in North America they are terrible one of the most unreliable parts of a diesel vehicle aside from the EGR Valves

8:15 CB so you can talk BS 😂😂😂

Wow and I thought Europe had a handle and experience with the emissions system and america was the only one with the problems, who knew

Have you been late with that V8 at all????

Any news on evergreen 🌲 Captain error or mechanical fault

I wonder what the urea being burnt in the process is doing to people ? talking to an engine rebuilder his conclusion engines are going backwards with all the electronic things that do or will give trouble Mack was doing a refrigerated air for power and efficiency not sure where that went making the particulate matter finer and less detectable hasnt solved any problem how much down time are electonic problems adding to transport company costs ?

Volvos arent much better, the 2020 FH I drive has 360,000 kilometers on it and this year its had a exhaust manifold gasket fail, an alternator failure, a siezed brake caliper, a coulple abs sensors and the sunroof leaks. I imagine all manufacturers must be the same nowadays.

Upload daily vlogs

I think its all due to the year of build which was during the covid duration where many companies had lack of staff and also material so maybe its lacking some quality control there

New Lorries, Are Causing serious Issues For Dam All. No One Seems To Question The Faults , wait Until These Mirrorless Start To Cause Trouble Serious None Vision

Does anyone writing these comments actually know what they’re talking about ? DPF filter is an actual filter, the clue is in the name !!!! So it’s a serviceable part. Would anyone complain if their truck needed an air filter ? Also the Nox sensors aren’t made by Scania, and all truck manufacturers are suffering from these poorly made sensors.

We’re Doomed !!! With all this modern technology

Straight Pipe the V8 she will run better!! 💪💪💨💨😎

🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦

Cars are the same,, any issues with out source of the components,,costing the operator vital business,, cash move it on ,,,bit of a shame don't they care anymore,, reputation in the BIN 😜☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️ from Belfast

imagine the army using scania and the lights wil not turn of

Are they owned by VAG Group 🤔

I've always fancied an S series Scania but this is putting me off.

New MAN next cmon
