[@CerealsTravels]

Air inlet heater, not glow plugs*

It sounds like starting a plane :D

Yes

i realize it's kinda randomly asking but do anyone know a good site to stream new tv shows online?

[@jordanorion5656]

@Augustus Zain Try FlixZone. You can find it on google :)

[@vincentmoses8204]

@Jordan Orion Yea, I've been using FlixZone for months myself =)

@Jordan Orion thanks, signed up and it seems like they got a lot of movies there :) I appreciate it !

Glow plugs always activate themselves when turning the ignition on, as shown by that small spiral symbol in the lower left corner of your dash.

[@tarushdei]

Not on the VNL I drove. You have to push the key further "in" to the ignition to trigger it to activate. It's not a feature on every truck, it's an optional extra typically found on Canadian Volvos. It's technically an intake heater, but glow plugs is just what everyone calls them.

You can see yourself that the light wasn't on the first time

[@CreRay]

Not in a Volvo truck, don’t know why though. They are not glow plugs though but rather a grid heater in the intake, big truck engines never have glow plugs, at least I don’t know a single one which has.

[@supertreme5559]

@@CreRay all new volvos have glow plugs, and all new scanias. if you look at this video, the truck wouldnt start this easy without glow plugs

Now you must be thinking of something else, the engines are shite, from uk!!!!!!

[@Tracert-mc1hu]

@@grumpystruckshop3807 Well here in the US, they're pretty good compared to Maxxforce. CAT dropped out of the game, Detroit Diesel isn't really doing much, and so the only other option is Cummins, Paccar, or Volvo. Cummins is usually more expensive, and so that leaves most fleet operators with Volvo or Paccar, which are not a whole lot different when it comes to reliability.

[@grumpystruckshop3807]

@@Tracert-mc1hu tell me about it, europe and the uk are awash with volvo and paccar, at least we have other options such as scania, we have a 50 year repair shop and work on just about everything, including old usa stuff, check out our channel,

[@Tracert-mc1hu]

@@grumpystruckshop3807 I'll have to check it out. But yeah, that's the issue here is that there's not a whole lot of options when it comes to foreign trucks, just Volvo. We don't have Mercedes, MAN, Scania, Leyland, Iveco, or DAF to keep the market competitive.

[@grumpystruckshop3807]

@@Tracert-mc1hu The nearest you get to mercedes is that DD world engine which is mercedes, but it is like all the others, full of shitty sensors, ad blue problems, engine warnings and derate all the time, we have just purchased a kw t800 rotator wrecker with a isx cummins 45,000 miles only, how do they fare in your neck of the woods?

[@arnoldhagerup118]

That engine sound is just 😍

[@isladelobos]

interesting to view this. Normally, the direct injection diesel engines are equiped with engine air heater because their dont use glow plugs.

[@kenopferkuch1673]

Didn't think D13 had glow plugs as far as I know they have heating elements inside the intake block

[@CreRay]

Correct

Do you wait till symbol in dash goes away before starting?

Hello there, could I use a part of your video for my cold-starting compilation? of course I put a link to your original video in the description, increasing the original’s popularity too. Thank you for answer in advance :)

[@s302jzget]

Lol I’ve been wrenching on these engines for 11yrs and was confused when you said glow plugs. These engines don’t have glow plugs, you’re referring to the intake air inlet heater.

[@grumpystruckshop3807]

Its called venturi heater,

[@s302jzget]

@@grumpystruckshop3807 Intake heater, No ventury.

[@grumpystruckshop3807]

@@s302jzget you obviously dont know what a venturi is, for your information its the air inlet to the inlet manifold, by the way D13 engines are crap with their pressed on cam lobes and leaking injector sleeves, aswell as solenoid controlled piston cooling nozzles that quit and sieze the engine, to mention but a few items, from the uk!!!

[@s302jzget]

@@grumpystruckshop3807 😆 I think you're confused? I'm a factory trained master technician for volvo/mack. But yea I think youre right. Its a ventury heater with no ventury affect going on 😆 ok buddy.. its funny when people apply fancy definitions to a component that has nothing to do with what their calling it. Let me guess? This engine has Jake brakes too? 😆 🤣

[@grumpystruckshop3807]

@@s302jzget working on volvo truck engines 40 years, no confusion my end, its just terminology.

[@SarmatKa777]

You mean Intake Inlet heater elements, never heard of glow plugs on d13

[@CreRay]

No D13 has glow plugs, or any 13 liter direct injected diesel engine for that matter, bar some pre 1980s design with prechamber. The first gen Cat 3406 is the only one I can think of.

[@paulirumbin1541]
