  I would also wish to appeal to the moderators to change the thread title to just "Lay-up and redeployments of Volvo Olympians" as I will include the de-registration dates for the other two Volvo Olympian batches.

  i asked that question before but no one answer it

  i also wondered that too. maybe engine coz that time when i alight from the bus ( svc 181), when it accelerate, the engine sound very weird, like want to break into pieces like that

  AFAIK the last time I took it, it was in Dec 2011. Yes, like userid azharjj mentioned, the engine also want to break into pieces and it was quite ''unstable''

  yup true

  when the bus is on idle, the sound of the engine like want to break like that

  so, no point change new engine coz it's so ex

  hence, decide to scrap early?
