Dose it have ad blue?

The adblue is the gauge next to it so it's full most of the way

There a huge lack of power, it struggles to hit 25 mph but it's had this problem "fixed" twice in the past month already

ajamesc

If it has ad blue that's the mill light. Which is the emissions system fault warning light. The lack of power will be its in de rate. There be a nox sensor before and after the cat. The ecu will no what nox reading it should see after the cat compared to before the cat once it's up to operating temp. If there's a fault with the system the light will come on as a warning if it's ignored after so long it will de rate. There be a fault somewhere in the ad blue system most likely. And fixed twice sounds about right lol most people don't know what there doing so they just re program it to re set the light. It can be an involved process to diagnose. Dose it have a DAF engine

I did get offered a job to re train as a bus mechanic the other week lol. Apparently there's a massive shortage of psv mechanics down this way and now there willing to retrain anyone with any sort of mechanical background

ajamesc

Bus's and coaches are shit to work on lol a lash up with everything squashed in so you can't get to it. A fair few of the makes use Daf engines so we see them from time to time

gcfcos

I went to my mates bus workshop and he showed me around, some of the engine in the rear looks fairly accessible but not sure on the rest?

ajamesc

we took the heads off a bova once and had to lift the one at the back out via a hole in the floor lol. I did a turbo oil pipe via a panel in the floor at arms length working blind as it was iver head to see or arm the do lol no room for both

gcfcos

Not good then lol :-(

The other bus this happened on they had to change the adblue tank

This one has had one of then multilink plug wiring issues

Cheers fit the detailed reply

ajamesc

many different things can cause it from not injecting ad blue to a sensor fault a fucked cat wiring issue many things

Ajamesc you seen the new euro 6 daf trucks?

I work for Delphi so would be good to see what the techs think of them, I've been involved in the development of he euro 4/5/6 daf 10 and 13 litre engine development and it's a great engine (compared to its rivals)

ajamesc

Ive seen one mx13 106 in with a fuel fault. They have two pumps supplying the common rail don't they. One of them pumps go's and brings an engine warning light on for fuel pressure and you have to replace both.

it's had a new adblue tank and pump from what i was told but i'm not a mechanic so when it's broken i call it in
