Took this with my new video camera, Flip Mino. Former cold start video was with a digital camera, so not as good. This was after bus sat for 7 months without going out on any drive longer than half a mile. Batteries were dead for 6 months, just put new ones in, so it is good as new! Stay tuned for more videos.

  • white smoke, burning oil

    and someone didnt wait for the glow poug light to go off

  • There are no glow plugs on a DT466...

  • There are no glow plugs on a DT466. And skodas I didn't rev it since it was not warmed up, don't want to blow up the engine.

  • DT466's dont use glows?? Dude, what diesel doesnt?!? I have a friend whos dad works for our bus garage and yes they do have glows. Your bus sounded like crap when you started that.

  • Uhhh... you need to brush up on diesel engines and diesel engines in buses. The DT466 engines have NEVER used glow plugs. No DT has whether a DT360, DT408, or DT570. Want to know other engines that don't? Cummins ISB, Cat 3208, Detroit 8.2, and the list goes on and on.

    Yes the bus sounded like crap when it started, it is 20 years old, 20 degrees out and sat for 7 months. Good luck firing up a new bus and having it sound any better!

  • @rls1400 a new bus would not start any better either people need to learn to read the description first you clearly stated it had not been a drive for 7 months

  • I speak from personal driving experience. My 1979 DT466, and 1982-1988 S1800s did not have glow plugs. However, our 1984-1985 S1700s did.

  • I can tell this bus is from New York-note the side emergency exit.

  • @rls1400 a new bus would not sound any better if it sat that long and you are correct a 466 doesnt use glowplugs especially newer IC Buses they have according to Matts4290 here on youtube a wait light cause of he either said it was an intake heater or grid heater dont really remember

  • @rls1400 hahahah

  • @killercan10 Even a series 60 doesn't have any.

  • @rls1400 You're right. The DT and the Cummins do NOT use glow plugs. I believe that the 8.2L Detroit did, but I'm not sure. I know for a fact that the CAT-3116, CAT-3126, IDI, T444E, VT, and Maxxforce 7 do

  • @ihcs1800 hmm 2006 IC is a POS if its a IC CE you must have the CE200 my driver drives an 06 IC CE300 very minimal issues out of it always runs great

  • simplified...any commonrail injected diesel does not have glow plugs
