You can calibrate the amount of fuel which the computer "sees", by filling up the tank completely, setting the info centre switch to FUEL AVG (second position), press the RESET button, keep it depressed while switching on the ignition, and then either set the reading to 48.0 or 59.0 litre (dependin...

Info centre Fixed !!! :rofl: big thank you Robert, saved me a lot of time and money investing in more clusters and boards/ soldering. voltage at pin 3 on Grey harness : 0.15 V when ignition on / 0.07 ignition off. Checked earth that's fine, I wired up the ignition feed from the CD player, and the in...

Hi Robert, thanks for the reply, 1.) I know that on both my clusters i have changed the light dimming option to highest and yes it's a dim green as should be. 2.) I will check the power supply on pin 3, on the grey cable, which one is earth? i guess i'll find it eventually. It's a bit strange I boug...

Cheers glasgow jim but i need one in KM, hebruins has offered me a dash cluster at a good price, i'll take him up on that , depending on MOT this Fri.

Hi all, My info center PCB is playing up and now dead, i buggered up the soldering today :badmood: , i just want to replace, much easier than hiring professional to do it. ( i'm in Belgium ~) Looking for either just the PCB, with the grey wire already soldered Or with infocentre included. Mine comes...

100 euros for a complete working speedometer for your model, fully refurbished and checked is a good price to me, i've seen them on Ebay for 240 euros +

taken my instrument cluster off my Volvo 480, due to the KM / trip meter no longer registering, My Speed IS registering; although funny in the beginning; it solved itself. I noticed when pulling the instrument cluster out of the dash a grey female ended cable that was loose or not even connected; th...

Turns out it was the exhaust at fault, i believe it was knocking on the chassis frame where it bends/ curves around next to the fuel tank, I've now fitted what i had given with the car: the new mid section silencers, + clamps and new pipe all the way back to the rear back box ( I wish i changed this...

thanks for the tips, i did read the first comment and had it a bit away from the spring mounts on rear axle, but i also had the middle jacked up as well, wasn't the subframe, nor the floor pan, just a reinforced part of chassis ( crossmember ? ) I had to put it there to get clearance changing mid se...

This may have been asked before, but could someone post photos of safe jacking areas on volvo 480? For trolley jack / Axle stands, i know not to use flat belly pan areas and been using safe structural places near the sills for the moment...

thanks !

Hi, tomorrow i'll be properly looking at it, and removing rear back box / straight up to the middle muffler, I had these given with the car,along with brackets, so whilst there i can check if any hangars need bending / tweaking on the box ~( if i know what i'm doing :S ) I mounted a camera today to ...

Hey guys cheers for the replies, it has to be the exhaust as you say, another clue is that the rear footwell is warm when it happens. I'm a newbie to car mechanics, bought the 480 to self teach, and a Haynes manual is coming in the post. I've done basics on my golf 4 such as brake over hall, changin...

Hi all, Just got me a 480 GT 2.0 as a project car that will probably need a bit of work, it's been off the road for 2 years One major concern i have is understanding what could be causing this: Major vibration / noise/ (clanging?) to behind driver's seat ( left side of CAR ) , pretty much in the foo...
