Today we will review the Mercedes O303 E model, made in 1996. 8 00:00:47,953 --> 00:00:53,320 This tool is quite special and it is one of the latest vehicles in the "303" series. 9 00:00:53,387 --> 00:01:01,333 It hand down the material and sentimental values, comfort, features and durability of the "302" series until the mid-1990s. ["TOPKAPI" is a neighborhood in the Fatih district of Istanbul. ] 10 00:01:01,374 --> 00:01:02,681 The "303" is a very, very special model. 11 00:01:03,054 --> 00:01:06,267 Even though the production date is recorded as 1996 in the records, in fact, it was actually produced in 1995. 12 00:01:06,626 --> 00:01:11,638 Normally, the production of "O303" model vehicles started in 1987. 13 00:01:11,782 --> 00:01:14,535 Production of "O303" vehicles continued until 1991-1992. 14 00:01:14,869 --> 00:01:19,213 Later, these models were introduced at the Izmir Fair in 1991. 15 00:01:19,247 --> 00:01:23,060 Manufactured to export more to Europe than for domestic use. 16 00:01:23,253 --> 00:01:24,493 The characteristics of the buses sold to Europe are different. 17 00:01:24,632 --> 00:01:27,326 But, production ended in 1992. 18 00:01:27,602 --> 00:01:28,456 Later on, 19 00:01:28,696 --> 00:01:32,236 In 1995, 10 of these buses were produced, again. 20 00:01:32,430 --> 00:01:34,070 And to be sold, buses were sent to Europe. 21 00:01:34,205 --> 00:01:36,705 However, these 10 buses were rejected by Europe and sent back to Türkiye. [The reason is not specified. ] 22 00:01:36,904 --> 00:01:40,997 The rejected buses were purchased by the travel company "Şampiyon Hersekli" [Champion Herzegovinian]. 23 00:01:41,025 --> 00:01:44,945 Buses were used for intercity passenger transportation. 24 00:01:45,122 --> 00:01:46,888 After that, a travel company called "ALTUR" bought the buses. 25 00:01:46,948 --> 00:01:52,441 "ALTUR" firm used these buses for urban [short distance] passenger transportation. 26 00:01:52,686 --> 00:01:58,086 It is said that this bus was used for the Galatasaray football team. 27 00:01:58,297 --> 00:01:59,724 As I said before, 28 00:01:59,771 --> 00:02:03,131 In other words, if we consider that it was produced in 1995 and has been used since 1996, 29 00:02:03,432 --> 00:02:06,498 maybe, until the 2000s, this bus was used for the purposes I described. 30 00:02:06,700 --> 00:02:09,920 And then, look, it's written on it, 31 00:02:10,323 --> 00:02:13,563 It was purchased by "Esadaş" travel company in 2017. 32 00:02:13,771 --> 00:02:19,646 Both the exterior and interior of the bus have been restored. 33 00:02:19,682 --> 00:02:22,502 Some features of "O 303 EUROPA" are different from "O 303". 34 00:02:22,715 --> 00:02:24,428 This is the big windshield you see, 35 00:02:24,528 --> 00:02:29,068 normally, "O 303" models have a pulley on the windshield. 36 00:02:29,117 --> 00:02:31,024 The pulley on the windshield is not used on "O 303 EUROPA". 37 00:02:31,064 --> 00:02:33,264 There are also differences in the taillights of the bus. 38 00:02:33,466 --> 00:02:37,526 Normally, while the taillights of the "O 303" have horizontal grooves, 39 00:02:37,698 --> 00:02:42,558 In the "O 303 EUROPA", 5 square-shaped taillights are mounted. 40 00:02:42,774 --> 00:02:46,940 As I just described, normally, the "O 303" had a pulley on the windshield. 41 00:02:47,175 --> 00:02:49,815 In this model, there is no pulley on the windshield, it has a giant windshield. 42 00:02:50,041 --> 00:02:54,947 Therefore, such a windshield wiper was used. As you can see, the wiper lifts up from the sides, wiping the windshield. 43 00:02:55,261 --> 00:02:57,681 But, on "O 303" models, the wipers on the windshield, 44 00:02:57,801 --> 00:03:02,401 as I showed, the wipers were wiping the windshield from the middle to the sides. 45 00:03:02,606 --> 00:03:03,872 There are such differences. 46 00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:06,346 Of course, there are technical differences. 47 00:03:06,418 --> 00:03:08,798 The driver's seat is different, 48 00:03:09,073 --> 00:03:13,474 there are rearview mirrors and other minor differences. 49 00:03:13,842 --> 00:03:16,609 One important difference is that the door is located in the middle. 50 00:03:16,855 --> 00:03:19,655 In "O 303" models, the door is at the rear. 51 00:03:19,884 --> 00:03:22,564 The reason why the door is in the middle, 52 00:03:22,848 --> 00:03:29,276 400 to 450 of the 650 buses produced are exported to Europe. 53 00:03:29,475 --> 00:03:33,795 at that time, 100 to 200~ of them were used in Türkiye. 54 00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:38,993 Later, they were variously restored or sent to junkyards. 55 00:03:39,252 --> 00:03:46,378 But since this vehicle is one of the last "O 303 EUROPA", we think it's important to us. 56 00:03:46,489 --> 00:03:49,462 Since the vehicle was in the early 1990's and 57 00:03:49,508 --> 00:03:53,259 since the vehicle is "O 303 EUROPA", it has a distinctive difference. 58 00:03:53,454 --> 00:03:57,034 As you can see, the vehicle is painted in two parts horizontally. 59 00:03:57,059 --> 00:04:00,180 The top of the bus is gray and the bottom is green. These colors are the original color of the vehicle. 60 00:04:00,390 --> 00:04:01,930 Let's take a look at it from the side. 61 00:04:02,098 --> 00:04:04,458 For example, look, it looks really very stylish. 62 00:04:04,483 --> 00:04:10,026 This is a bus from the mid-1990s that beautifully displays its features, fashion. 63 00:04:10,276 --> 00:04:12,209 The upper and lower parts are different. 64 00:04:12,384 --> 00:04:13,731 We talked about the middle door. 65 00:04:13,756 --> 00:04:14,550 Let's show it right now. 66 00:04:14,575 --> 00:04:16,703 Normally, this door was located in the back on "O 303"s. 67 00:04:17,089 --> 00:04:22,836 Look, the door is in the middle. The door opens automatically from the inside. 68 00:04:22,976 --> 00:04:28,510 Let's go inside and I'll talk about the inside of the bus. 69 00:04:38,057 --> 00:04:41,703 Now, I'm going to show an important move here. It's pretty important. ☺ 70 00:04:42,073 --> 00:04:43,987 Look, the gear lever. 71 00:04:44,588 --> 00:04:47,448 According to the gear lever of this bus, there is a swaggering of getting into the car. 72 00:04:47,507 --> 00:04:50,567 You look, you try to sit like this, you try like that, but it's not comfortable. 73 00:04:50,928 --> 00:04:53,008 Here's the exact method of sitting on the driver's seat. 74 00:04:53,079 --> 00:04:54,745 In a diagonal manner, you will turn your back to the seat. Hooop! 75 00:04:54,991 --> 00:04:57,571 You pass the gear lever between the legs, you do this movement. [That's what drivers in Türkiye did.] 76 00:04:57,920 --> 00:04:59,860 And you are sitting, this is very important! 77 00:05:00,168 --> 00:05:03,255 Otherwise, the gear lever may be dangerous for you, you will suffer the consequences. 78 00:05:03,324 --> 00:05:08,808 Now, let's look at the group of vehicle gauges. 79 00:05:08,850 --> 00:05:11,843 Look, here, there are 4 vehicle gauge. 80 00:05:11,876 --> 00:05:14,351 Actually, there are double indicators in the middle and 81 00:05:14,376 --> 00:05:15,883 and the indicators overlap. 82 00:05:16,230 --> 00:05:19,076 One of the gauges shows the pressure of the brake system. 83 00:05:19,391 --> 00:05:24,378 Since the doors are air operated, the other gauge shows the air pressure. 84 00:05:24,814 --> 00:05:27,154 At the bottom, we have our fuel gauge. 85 00:05:27,482 --> 00:05:31,071 The gauge on the left shows the oil pressure of the engine system and 86 00:05:31,096 --> 00:05:33,076 on the right we have the temperature gauge. 87 00:05:33,431 --> 00:05:34,904 In the middle, we have the tachometer. 88 00:05:34,929 --> 00:05:36,124 Look, the gauge has a max of 2300 number of revolutions per minute. 89 00:05:36,149 --> 00:05:40,728 Normally, the engine runs in the range of 1500 to 2000 revolutions per minute. 90 00:05:40,815 --> 00:05:42,149 Let's look at the indicators on the right. 91 00:05:42,248 --> 00:05:46,095 This is the speedometer.

This driver's cockpit is the same as the Mercedes "O 304" model. 123 00:07:55,173 --> 00:08:00,746 The Mercedes "O 304", approximately, was produced between 1992 and 1996. 124 00:08:00,961 --> 00:08:05,621 Then, the "O 403" model was produced. It is also a legendary bus. 125 00:08:05,939 --> 00:08:09,025 Therefore, we can state the following about “O 303” models. 126 00:08:09,293 --> 00:08:15,113 It is a mid-generation bus, continuing the features of the "O 302", with modern features from the "O 304". 127 00:08:15,138 --> 00:08:17,534 The last representative of the mid-generation buses we mentioned is "O 303 EUROPA". 128 00:08:17,819 --> 00:08:24,373 "O 303 EUROPA" feature the best and latest technology used for the "O 303"s. 129 00:08:24,398 --> 00:08:25,804 Again, let's talk about the features of the driver's cockpit. 130 00:08:26,148 --> 00:08:30,376 There is the cigarette ashtray for the driver here. 131 00:08:30,401 --> 00:08:32,083 In fact, all seats have cigarette ashtrays. 132 00:08:32,108 --> 00:08:34,764 In the past, cigarettes had been smoked like a chimney indoors. 133 00:08:34,789 --> 00:08:37,037 Unfortunately, cigarettes were smoked in this bus. 134 00:08:37,062 --> 00:08:39,350 People had poisoned each other with cigarettes. 135 00:08:39,595 --> 00:08:44,135 Look, there's a locker here where the driver can put driver's stuff. 136 00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:45,678 This cabinet was absent on the "O 302" model. 137 00:08:45,956 --> 00:08:48,542 The cabinet has been added to the "O 303" models. 138 00:08:48,567 --> 00:08:54,980 An important detail for the personal belongings of the driver. Also, the cabinet can be locked. 139 00:08:55,221 --> 00:09:00,281 There is curtain here, the curtain can go down quite. 140 00:09:00,485 --> 00:09:02,251 Because it has a huge windshield. 141 00:09:02,464 --> 00:09:04,604 Look, there are two interior mirrors here. 142 00:09:04,865 --> 00:09:09,579 The convex mirror below shows a large area. 143 00:09:09,604 --> 00:09:14,160 The upper flat mirror is focused on the driver, showing the narrow space. 144 00:09:14,411 --> 00:09:24,224 Look, here is the phone where the driver communicates with the bus attendant in the back, which is a nice feature. 145 00:09:24,924 --> 00:09:28,337 I keep looking. Yes! 146 00:09:28,710 --> 00:09:30,997 This is a very very important feature, let me tell you right away. 147 00:09:31,103 --> 00:09:32,709 Handbrake! 148 00:09:32,953 --> 00:09:36,367 I disengage the handbrake; but the vehicle does not move because I press the brake pedal. 149 00:09:36,585 --> 00:09:40,979 Look, I take my foot off the brake pedal slightly, the bus moves a little bit backwards. 150 00:09:41,111 --> 00:09:43,224 For this reason, attention should be paid to the brake pedal. 151 00:09:43,515 --> 00:09:45,888 Another important point is that the gear must be in neutral for the handbrake to be engaged. 152 00:09:46,078 --> 00:09:51,212 Now, I disengage the handbrake again. Hear sound which from handbrake. 153 00:09:51,284 --> 00:09:52,858 This is one of the legendary voices. 154 00:09:53,044 --> 00:09:55,997 Another important point is that you should press down after you engage the handbrake. 155 00:09:56,062 --> 00:09:58,469 There is an important detail here! 156 00:09:58,494 --> 00:10:00,257 I remembered this detail when my foot got stuck on the ledge. 157 00:10:00,550 --> 00:10:03,769 This is a button, namely the exhaust brake. 158 00:10:03,869 --> 00:10:07,703 While in motion, it is possible to slow down the vehicle by pressing exhaust brake. 159 00:10:07,728 --> 00:10:11,217 So this is the primary retarder system. 160 00:10:11,242 --> 00:10:16,416 Secondly, there is a hydraulic retarder system. It works, depending on the gearbox. 161 00:10:16,585 --> 00:10:18,625 I talked a lot.

That's it! 171 00:11:27,284 --> 00:11:30,991 And we get behind our bus and inspect the engine. 172 00:11:32,062 --> 00:11:33,469 Let's introduce the "Turboset". 173 00:11:33,494 --> 00:11:35,653 "Turboset" is also a very interesting piece of equipment. 174 00:11:36,004 --> 00:11:37,637 It is simple but very nostalgic. 175 00:11:37,939 --> 00:11:39,699 From here, you turn the cylinder handle clockwise. 176 00:11:40,569 --> 00:11:45,289 "Ankara, İstanbul, Gümüşhane, Trabzon, Adana" [in Türkiye] "Mekke" [in Saudi Arabia] 177 00:11:45,314 --> 00:11:47,728 "Private tour" "Mersin, Erzincan, Samsun, Erzurum" [in Türkiye] and so on. 178 00:11:48,045 --> 00:11:50,551 This is how the target city name appears. If there is no expedition, the empty tag is used. 179 00:11:50,850 --> 00:11:56,877 This "Turboset" makes the bus quite nostalgic, as it is a specific equipment for buses of the 1990s. 180 00:11:57,291 --> 00:11:59,051 Yes! We came to the engine. 181 00:11:59,379 --> 00:12:03,772 The engine is an atmospheric diesel engine with code "OM 422". 182 00:12:03,797 --> 00:12:06,575 So, no turbocharger whatsoever. 183 00:12:06,715 --> 00:12:09,792 It; a V8 engine with a volume of 14.6 liters. 184 00:12:09,817 --> 00:12:14,565 One arm of the letter "V" on the right, one arm on the left, like this! 185 00:12:14,670 --> 00:12:16,850 4 cylinders on the right, 4 cylinders on the left. 186 00:12:16,875 --> 00:12:20,687 And the engine is eccentric from the block. The eccentric shaft is as follows. 187 00:12:20,957 --> 00:12:26,397 In this way, the engine can move two valves in each cylinder. 188 00:12:26,833 --> 00:12:29,006 The power of the engine is 280 PS [Pferde Stärke]. [205,9 kW] 189 00:12:29,415 --> 00:12:31,815 Torque is around 1.000 newton meters. 190 00:12:32,167 --> 00:12:37,927 It can easily carry a total curb weight of 12.5 tons and a maximum weight of 17 tons. 191 00:12:37,952 --> 00:12:40,707 The engine is quite simply towing the vehicle on ramps. 192 00:12:40,732 --> 00:12:43,303 Anyway, we're going to show it to you with awesome lion roaring. 193 00:12:43,706 --> 00:12:48,161 They even made a turbo version of this engine. 194 00:12:48,510 --> 00:12:50,970 The code for that engine is "OM 422 A". 195 00:12:51,262 --> 00:12:56,955 There is also the "OM 422 A/LA" version, which uses an "intercooler" with a turbo. 196 00:12:57,329 --> 00:12:59,749 The turbo engine "OM 422 A" is about 340 PS [250 kW]. 197 00:13:00,170 --> 00:13:05,137 The engine "OM 422 A/LA", which has the "intercooler" feature together with the turbo, can reach up to 375 PS [275 kW]. 198 00:13:05,544 --> 00:13:11,519 Since the "intercooler" can cool the refrigerant air and oxygen quantity and quality increase, 199 00:13:11,543 --> 00:13:15,381 "OM 422 A/LA" is capable of producing high power. 200 00:13:15,665 --> 00:13:19,065 But, "OM 422 A/LA" engines were mostly used in rig and trucks. 201 00:13:19,482 --> 00:13:24,196 "Intercooler" feature of those engines, 202 00:13:24,591 --> 00:13:31,838 It was used for the first time in "OM 422 A/LA" engines within the scope of commercial vehicles. It is important in this respect. 203 00:13:32,111 --> 00:13:36,384 This vehicle has both ABS [Anti-lock Braking System] and ASR [Anti-slip Regulation]. 204 00:13:36,660 --> 00:13:45,326 ABS brakes were used for the first time in the "O 303" series for commercial vehicles. 205 00:13:45,686 --> 00:13:47,533 It is also a very important feature. 206 00:13:47,761 --> 00:13:55,775 This bus come to the forefront for having the first features like "O 302". 207 00:13:56,033 --> 00:13:58,919 Let's take a look at the sides of the car. 208 00:13:59,581 --> 00:14:02,614 Here is some engine parts as well. 209 00:14:04,084 --> 00:14:05,864 There is such a thing as a big box. 210 00:14:06,316 --> 00:14:10,516 this is the pipe that goes up to get fresh air. 211 00:14:10,541 --> 00:14:17,350 Fresh air is taken from the gratings above and filtered below. The air then goes to the engine. 212 00:14:17,375 --> 00:14:19,276 There are also batteries at the bottom. 213 00:14:19,301 --> 00:14:20,677 Let's close this cover. 214 00:14:23,627 --> 00:14:26,147 Let's close the engine bonnet. 215 00:14:30,136 --> 00:14:32,859 There is another trunk lid, let's see it too, if you want. 216 00:14:33,264 --> 00:14:38,710 Here is the air conditioner, which heats the interior of the car, named after the company "Webasto". 217 00:14:38,735 --> 00:14:40,911 The engine is clearly visible from here. 218 00:14:41,415 --> 00:14:46,888 The "Webasto" system here is different from what happens on trucking rigs. 219 00:14:46,913 --> 00:14:54,597 The "Webasto" system in trucking rigs, can supply hot air to the interior of the vehicle, when the engine is not active. 220 00:14:54,929 --> 00:14:58,402 The "Webasto" system here is slightly different. 221 00:14:58,850 --> 00:15:03,394 It supplies warm air into the vehicle when the engine is cold. 222 00:15:03,643 --> 00:15:07,560 That is, after the engine starts, it needs time to warm up. 223 00:15:07,767 --> 00:15:13,057 During that time, this system heats the interior of the vehicle until the engine warms up. 224 00:15:13,292 --> 00:15:17,003 See, the engine looks clearer from here. 225 00:15:17,141 --> 00:15:22,092 There are "Mercedes" stars on each cylinder head. 226 00:15:22,593 --> 00:15:25,377 Pretty awesome!

You go off the ramp with a vehicle that loaded. 331 00:22:49,082 --> 00:22:54,176 Due to the slope, the weight is loaded on the rear of the vehicle, which reduces engine power. 332 00:22:54,452 --> 00:22:58,265 Therefore, it is important to be able to go up the ramp. 333 00:22:58,798 --> 00:23:01,932 That's why, as Kerem Kaptan said, 334 00:23:02,365 --> 00:23:09,871 how good a bus is evident, when going uphill. 335 00:23:09,896 --> 00:23:14,027 In that respect, the 303s are really successful. 336 00:23:16,163 --> 00:23:18,730 - Let's speed up so we can pass before the red light turns on. - Yes, let's go. 337 00:23:19,333 --> 00:23:20,193 And now, I'm sure. 338 00:23:20,218 --> 00:23:25,237 Outside, unbelievably; the sound enchants people. 339 00:23:36,593 --> 00:23:39,099 And some people don't like: "This is what a loud thing!” they might say. 340 00:23:39,336 --> 00:23:47,563 But those who hear the V8 engine sound of this legendary O303 may be after us. 341 00:23:47,682 --> 00:23:48,849 I have often done: 342 00:23:49,376 --> 00:23:56,462 I open the windows of my car, I definitely hear that V8 engine sound. 343 00:23:58,108 --> 00:23:58,955 The sound of action is also amazing. 344 00:24:22,956 --> 00:24:26,231 The engine makes a humming noise. Do you hear the sound? 345 00:24:30,747 --> 00:24:34,793 In the past, they used to stop the bus on a slope to determine the experience of the drivers. 346 00:24:35,006 --> 00:24:40,679 They considered the driver to move forward without sliding the bus backwards. 347 00:24:41,306 --> 00:24:46,706 Now we are at the top of the hill we climbed. We will go down. 348 00:24:47,198 --> 00:24:49,144 Our vehicle has a "retarder" system. 349 00:24:49,462 --> 00:24:54,655 As far as I know, the O302S models did not have a "retarder" system. 350 00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:55,580 "Retarder" was used for the first time in this model. 351 00:24:55,605 --> 00:24:59,068 Exactly, "retarder" is used in this vehicle after the O302 series. 352 00:24:59,541 --> 00:25:05,394 For example, listen. Kerem Kaptan will activate the "retarder" system. 353 00:25:05,683 --> 00:25:09,497 We looked from the passenger seat and said, "What was that?" we would say. 354 00:25:09,987 --> 00:25:12,580 "Retarder" is active now! 355 00:25:12,807 --> 00:25:14,987 Pay attention, there is a humming sound. 356 00:25:29,643 --> 00:25:31,583 As you can hear, there is a distinct humming sound. 357 00:25:31,903 --> 00:25:33,756 This humming sound is more clearly heard, especially at night. 358 00:25:34,066 --> 00:25:38,593 At night, the passengers on the bus are quiet. 359 00:25:39,010 --> 00:25:42,184 When the driver engages the retarder while going downhill, 360 00:25:42,209 --> 00:25:47,624 Like this. A humming sound bothers you; but after a while, the "retarder" sound becomes addictive. 361 00:25:47,855 --> 00:25:51,542 Like the sound of an airplane engine. Exactly! 362 00:25:51,567 --> 00:25:54,203 -Like I said, let's find a bridge. -Yeah yeah! 363 00:25:54,228 --> 00:25:56,263 -We get a very nice sound there. -We need to find a bridge. 364 00:25:56,842 --> 00:26:01,293 Dear followers, we listen to this sound in the open air, but you also need to hear this sound on the bridge. 365 00:26:01,814 --> 00:26:06,387 It makes a great sound when it echoes. 366 00:26:06,412 --> 00:26:11,390 Reverberantly, the environment becomes more beautiful. 367 00:26:11,938 --> 00:26:13,504 We will show it, I hope. 368 00:26:14,031 --> 00:26:16,691 Dear followers, my voice get hoarse; excuse me. 369 00:26:17,021 --> 00:26:18,715 We're driving at night right now. 370 00:26:18,894 --> 00:26:20,574 The day after the first shoot of the video, I got sick. 371 00:26:20,858 --> 00:26:21,871 I am in poor voice, very. 372 00:26:22,504 --> 00:26:26,631 Just to get the V8 sound, we're going to go into a tunnel soon. 373 00:26:28,327 --> 00:26:32,100 Thank you, Kerem Kaptan came and took me from my house. 374 00:26:32,228 --> 00:26:36,921 Now we're entering the tunnel, let's hear that (lion of) thunder sound. 375 00:27:24,192 --> 00:27:26,586 We also recorded our marvelous voice. 376 00:27:27,282 --> 00:27:31,622 I want to sit in that famous seat number three. 377 00:27:31,670 --> 00:27:34,737 Because it's seat number three has a special place in passengers. 378 00:27:34,910 --> 00:27:36,470 Let me experience something like this. 379 00:27:37,795 --> 00:27:41,182 Yes, I'm in control of everything here.
