Quote from: 2900 on Yesterday at 11:05:27 AMmost could well be the only time i,ve seen engine swaps in garage is due to failure, modern buses designed to do 1,000.000 kilometers without need for major mechanical refurbs, modern build methods, better oils,lubes more advanced than in years gone by, Tony or a bus engineer would know
Volvo B7 engines generally tended to last around 13 years, very few survive without a major rebuild or swap. Cummins tend to average around 9 years, Platinums are starting to get rebuilt engines put in now. 6799 has been off the road since January having its engine rebuilt at Miller Street, should be back very soon

13 years quite impressive considering they are running for 12/16 hours a day
