Volvo 480 Club Europe

Owkay guys, I'm planning to make a monster from the engine, and the first stap is to get rid of this little problem:<br>When I accelerate, the pedal pushed halfway : everything works fine. revs go up to 6000 and pressure goes to .4bar<br><br>When I accelerate, the pedal pushed to the metal :<br>ever...

Besides that; I think Jamo is right. I've also heard the rumours that ES and single layered units cannot be chipped. <br>Greetz<br>Bakke <p></p><i></i>

Stargate,<br>at the Belgian 480 team we have someone who's in direct contact with Rica and we can get our 480 chipped for 300€. There is one little catch : Rica delivers him the new mapping on a eprom chip; so we have to solder the old chip out and put the new one in. Soldering a chip can be done,...

It's true dragonlord. Here in belgium we aren't allowed to use lowering springs, and each time we have to go to the MOT, I have to put on my old "regular" springs. I've done it so many times by now, I change all 4 in less than an hour. It' s really a job that can be done by yourself. All you need ar...

Yeah Bastiaan, like Jamo said, I have the original Volvo bodykit, not the Hausser one.<br>Greetz<br>Bakke <p></p><i></i>

I also use 15W40 fully synthetic from Castrol on my turbo without any problems. Be aware once you used fully synthetic in an egine you can't swith back to mineral or half synthetic. It 's bad for your engine so you are stuck with the expensive oil, but I think there 's no beter oil she deserves<br>G...

Thx Ronald. Next time I"ll ask it on our own board.<br>See you at the Born Plant<br>Bakke <p></p><i></i>

Anyone who knows the url for the french 480 club?<br>Greetz<br>Bakke <p></p><i></i>

Hi,<br>I've made my speedo gauge white. It was quiet easy. It was very easy to replace them and cheaper then replace them by original ones. Check my site for pictures<br>www.jhbasement.be/g13.htm<br>Greet<br>Bakke <p></p><i></i>

Anyone who know what the price is? Mine need some replacement too<br>Greetz<br>Bakke <p></p><i></i>

So I should let all oil out? I'm scared that is going to leek after such a long time of having no action ...<br><br> <p></p><i></i>

Yess !!! Today I bought my second 480 today. A turbo this time, 'cause I wanted some more power. Still he needs a little work but the engine is in a good condition.<br>To share my luck I've made a little website www.jhbasement.be/g13.htm<br>Check it out<br>I still have one question; This car has sta...

Hi Daniel. Could you also please mail them to me? bakke@pandora.be<br>Thx! <p></p><i></i>

I haven't got it either. It could be my own fault, cause I have changed from provider and I'm no longer able to check my old email.<br>Please resent it to bakke@pandora.be znd change my adress in your database<br>THx in advance<br>Bakke <p></p><i></i>

I had mine replaced in juin at a volvo dealer in Belgium.The 480 had 220 000km. The've changed all the belts ( timingbelt, belt for waterpump and for the alternator) and they've put a new pressure (spanrol) wheel for the timingbelt. Costed me 400 €. <p></p><i></i>

300 000km?!!!! Allright, this gives me hope that I still can drive a lot with my 480. <br> <p></p><i></i>

I've got 220 000 km. Am taking it next month to the dealer for a huge checkup. <br>Anyone who knows how long I still can ride him?<br>greetz<br>Bakke <p></p><i></i>
