Re: Oil on speed sensor
After reading this thread this morning I separated the the plug and socket measured the resistance of the sensor approx 2ohms. Cleaned the contacts spray of wd40 and I think that's cured. Thanks for the help

Re: Oil on speed sensor
Hi there my speedo issue is, the needle won't go past 40mph. Took the clocks apart done some resoldering but nothing looked a miss put all back still the same. Info centre works but gives very low average speed reading like 15mph and very poor fuel economy like 25mpg. Mines a 1.7 es auto where will ...

Re: 480ES dash electrical problem
I traced mine using resistance readings the crank sensor around 220 ohms the lambda around 15 ohms but my 1st move was earth connections and check the connections between sensors and pin layouts on cem and ecu. The lambda won't stop the car starting. My final electrical fault was the previous owner ...

Re: 480ES dash electrical problem
The 1 is fuel pump and the other is fuel injection both controlled by the ecu. Mine would switch on then straight off again and it turned out to be the crank sensor, but mine wouldn't start. There are some circuit diagrams I down loaded.

Re: Wanted rear springs
Thank you.
It's just the cost of sorting my 480 es is spiralling
Out of control, but I am excited to get it on the road.

Re: Won't start
Mine has three wires to the radiator switch.
I don't have a back box for the exhaust so am not inclined to run it yet, but once I get the exhaust done I will look more into it.

Re: Won't start
Well today I started my 480 and was pleased with the sound of the engine even though I have no back box. The problem of no fuel pump relay switching, was the crank sensor, I then had no spark but that was the previous owner not connecting the coil pack correctly causing me a little bit of head scrat...

Re: Won't start
Forgot to mention it's a 1.7 basic no abs or airbag.
I can't get to look at it till Monday now, I think the resistance reading should be around 200ohms is that correct?

Led was constant and no central locking. Replaced CEM now that all works and led flashes goes off when doors are open. Turn ignition engi...
