Taking the plunge. My journey as an O/O.

With all this time in the shop, are you generating much revenue these days?

 

On my 2014 Volvo after rebuilding engine 10 months ago I ended up replacing I believe 3 or 4 sensors that had to do with the DEF system. One after the other every few weeks on the road. Plan accordingly as I bet you will have the same issues. I had to limp back to shop before the rebuild and I think I ruined pretty much most of the sensors when I did that.

 

Right, but when your business model is predicated on generating so many miles in a given month (based on your fixed rates with Crete) any volatility and disruption in that process, means you're just digging a deeper hole that's pretty hard to climb out of.

At least that's how it seems to me anyways.

 

You mean the DEF doser valve? They didn't replace that during the rebuild?

 

Well, for one it's a good idea to stay ahead of the curve on those things.

Don't know about your engine model, but when I bought my Volvo new, the dealership provided me with a print out of Volvo's recommended service intervals. Here's a copy of their service intervals for the doser valve and DEF related parts.
