  • Pielstick? never heard before! What's so bad about these? Could somebody tell me? :/

  • @gregordiesel

    If you are an oil sheik = good news - you'll find oil wells everywhere.

    If you are in oil retail buisness = good news - you'll break all-time-high-record-sale at your office and can retire next week with a great bonus

    If you are an engineer and have to work with these engines = born loser

    Seriously - These engines are user-hostile with severe leak problems. Unreliable and with a moody attitude. Have you ever anything positive about a thing which have the label "made in France"?

  • Pielstick engines needs a lot of care and love.

  • I feel sorry for those who have to maintain the 32 units on those shit engines.

  • Yep, it was four months in hell, well at least a test of it.

  • Pielstick = JUNK

  • I agree!!

  • I hate this sound! In Split sisters (Amorella, Isabella etc..) same sounds can also been heard in passenger cabins on deck 6. Impossible to sleep there.
