Scania v8 730hp

I've had brand new DAFs in the workshop which belched out plumes of smoke after idling for a few minutes...The same engines had to have either the heads off or the oil pan/sump dropped before 500,000km

 

i was just going to buy winter tires for my car and i saw this girl

 

(image is not mine it was on highway with semitrailer...)

but personally i dont like this one it looks too much like italian trucks too much of inox and chrome parts

 

Nice TAXI sign on the front....Fiine truck all the same....Driving that yoke up the road with 730 horsepower under me would put a serious bulge in the trousers as well as an uncontrollable grin across my face

 

I agree , there's more trinkets on it than a pensioners mantlepiece , those little bits of chrome and bits and bobs make it look cheap and spoil the looks.

 

looks like old engines go to history new 130mm platform will exchange all of them scania will release new scr engines for european market (250, 310,360,400,440,480)

but also for markets outside of europe so euro4 egr engines are discontinued

 

For all the Country & Western fans out there....we like our V8 Scanias so much here in Cork that we sing about them

Only problem with that song is he sings about probably the worst cabindesign in the hole truck history.
The upper bed is absolutely useless, the lower bed is probably smaller than the ones in Auschwitz and so ####### bad done I can't understand. Everything in the cab is also clonking. You have to move stuffs around every time you want to use a bed. The heat adjusting is worthless, the driving place is tiny. The highbeam swith does what it feels like, say you want to flash but it decides to leave them on.
How can they place the retarder on the dash, it should bee on the steering wheel or at least on a lot more ergonomic place if it has to bee on the dash.

(sorry but had to take a spare 164 580 this week and I hate it so ####### on top of that i got a ####### cold the first night in that junk design)

 

Icee , give me an example of a good design (In your opinion).

 

Probably a Scania without a cab.....lol
