Volvo 480 Club Europe

Does anyone have specifications on the stock ride height for the 480 Turbo when they were new?

Mine seems not to be level, the front appears to be to high (or to low on the rear).

Thanks Jim, that would be very valluable

Hi

Thanks for the link.

The ones in there are for 1991 or 1992 - 1994 cars. I believe that 86/87 are different, because the plugs of the instrument panel are not equal, and the instrument panel are not interchangeable.

The instrument panel and infocenter in my 86 ES are totally dead (well, not totally, some of the information lights still works).

I need to solve this, but I'm having trouble finding the correct electrical schemes for these model years.

Do anyone have them?

Thanks!

All 4

To clarify, the wheels do not need to be shipped. They can be picked up in Uk.

Thanks

I'm searching a set of 4 Vesa alloys in good condition.

Thanks

Does anyone have a photo of the original center cap screw that came with these alloys?

Hi,

I'm after a rear bumper cover in new condition, as mine is slightly ondulated on the top and between the rear fog lights.

Thanks

no one?

I was checking some spark plugs that I have lying aroud for 400 series and I noticed a set of plugs with part number 3344472.

Volvo VADIS only lists the 3344473 and 3344899.

Do anyone have more information on the 3344472 ones?

Hi I was able to get a Galp oil that is GL4 and API MIL-L-2105 compliant @ arround 6€ / liter :) Here ELF TransELF is more expensive than the Volvo oil. Changed it, and the gearbox is a looot better. Sometimes it was very difficult to put some gears, especially 1st, 2nd and 3rd and it was very...

Well, I know that Turbo's and later's N/A's have bronze in some components of the gearbox and need some special gearbox oil.

But... do the first's ES, from 1986, have bronze components in the gearbox? Can it get a "normal" gearbox oil or it also need the Volvo one?

Mine has now made only about 80kms after the inicial noise.

3rd gear do not engage, 1st and 2nd makes a LOT of noise

Hi

The discs have been "corrected" (don't know the exact word in English), exactly to erase any kind of "warped" (fledged).

Now... maybe this service have not been done correctly as I haven't driven the car before it.


Can it be the main brake pump?

I allready tried a steering allignment and it isn't that. Pipes do not have any leakage. Today I've made 5kms without braking and in the end I found the left front disk brake to be very hot. So it seems that this caliper is not releasing as it should and is allways braking a bit. Wich is strange bec...

What is the cause that makes the car, when braking at speeds above 80/100kms/h, from time to time (not always, actually it is rarely) beastly and suddenly pull to the left? The brakes have been bleded this weekend and the problem persists. There are no loose wheel nuts, brake pads are recent in all ...

Thanks for the tip, I'm gonna check it

In a '92 1.7 non turbo (B18EP engine), the gearbox started to make a whinning noise in some gears. Some kms later (30 maybe) the 3rd gear started to jump out and the 1st one started to be very very dificult to engage. The actual state is (made 70 kms since the beginning of the noise): - 1st and 2nd ...
