- I've slowed down with the hybrids in general, as... there's only so much you can get out of them but I did not hesistate to record a Euro 6 B5LH which actually has a bit of character to it! This bus, VWH2104 has what I suspect to be a weakened or loose water pump belt, screeching upon sharp changes in RPM/Crankshaft Speed caused by either braking or acceleration! In some situations acceleration is somewhat jerky even at full throttle, causing minor pitch changes from the hysterical screeching coming from the belt... but it does actually sound quite cool! Not only that but this bus also does make use of the majority of it's gears, which I've forgotten goes really nicely, repeatedly hearing that D5K engine whine during each gear. Something a bit short and different today, no super-fast paced journey, but some full throttle action out of another gem for the B5 enjoyers out there as this bus does seem to screech on some days and other days, not.
Enjoy the video!

Now, if that belt snaps off its going to be a whole new story
If the belt goes it will definitely cause overheating, cos the water pump wouldn’t be driven, and that’s literally what cools down the engine
@@LJ07EBP yeah but without the water itll be worse and could cause a fire
Driven this and 2102 a few times. Best PV VWHs absolute🔥🔥
Yeah man I’ve heard a good few VWHs from PV are on the come up! And it’s mostly these 14 plates
oh my, i remember hearing this on a B5LH when i was younger, this bring back alot of nostalga.
Yeah man you don’t hear this often!
Interesting bit of kit there! Nice catch as always!!🤩
Yeahh this one stands out! Thank you!
Yeahh, this one's had the noise for months 😅. Gotta fix it for the new year surely lol. Great video as always 👍🏾
I hope they never fix it🤣
Thank you! To be honest until that belt snaps I don’t they they’ll do anything😂
Bloody hell! Never heard this sound on the G3s before it usually happens on the G2s!
Yeah man it's possible!
This was fun to drive🤣 probably the only B5 i like.
Yeah considering you could also hear it from the front as well, I’m not surprised 😂
yeah, i've seen this thing at willesden bus garage. but when it accelerated it didnt really do much noise. maybe they fixed it a bit after this video was posted
Yeah they defo fixed it
@@Frozzles just heard a loud turbo squeal coming from one, probably also not the best sign
Got a new belt ready for it mate😂
Yep just quickly order a new one from the storeman, quick remove and refit 🤣🤣
Nice Journey :)
C'mon 🔥
Interesting B5TL
B5LH*! But yes indeed
my bad 😂@@Frozzles
Why did you have to make some parts of the video audio only?
School kids in the frame
Not really a fan of B5LHs but the Belt slipping does make it sound better
Yeah same here really
Song name 0:02 0:04
It’s not out yet but it’s by Margs
@@Frozzles tysm
That to like noise B5LH
Huh?
Yeah if that thing snaps😬😬😬 It's annoying that B5lhs have silly speed limiters in London because they can reach 60 easily without
Yeah it’s a long day if that happens, chance that the driver won’t even hear it too, so you’ll only find out once the bus overheats
Yeah, in fairness there’s not many routes where they use 50 roads, but yeah I’d love to see once that has a higher speed limiter for sure
@@Frozzles Yeah for sure
