hey guys ,
my two bobs worth ,
when rural ambulance victoria ran a fleet of them 145 vehicles they cost a bloody fortune to keep them on the road , the list of problems .
we , in the ambulance workshops were seeing was mind boggling ,
from broken crankshafts to P/Stg pumps , vacc pumps , harmonic balancers flying to pieces , oil leaks , cylinder heads , injector pumps
fuel solenoid drivers , eg ,electronic pumps ,lift pumps , porous blocks . when I read that BD is fitting these engines to late model vehicles , how they get away with it is behond me , because when the vehicles come into Aust every engine after 95 ' had drive by wire , re computers . the law in victoria states that to meet RWC
the engine that replaces the original must have at minimum be of the same emission control std . eg its ilegal to fit an engine that has lesser emiss controls . BD fit mechanical pumps which clearly cannot comply with emissions in vic , because the reason in the first place for elect eng cont was to meet emissions
wonder what the EPA would say ????
