Volvo 480 Club Europe

Got the "new" maf from Germany in the mail today. Fitted it and the car runs fine! Best 30 euro i've ever spent!

Okay, I've finally ordered a new throttle posistion sensor (38$ with shipping from USA) and a used MAF off a 91 480 turbo (29 euro with shipping from Deutschland) of ebay. Went to MOT\EU test last week, CO levels were through the roof with the maf disconnected and the front brake pads were worn out....

Do you have an ok functioning bosch maf that ends with 021?

I just had a friend weld one of the mounting tabs on my downpipe because it had rusted loose.

BTW: Price for downpipe at the local volvo dealer was 720 euro.... Thats insane.

Thanks! I'm gonna try cleaning the maf one more time and change the throttle posistion sensor. My MOT test is due this month and I fear my CO levels are way too high at the moment....

Anyone know online stores with cheap throttle posistion sensors they cost around 100£over here, maybe thats normal.

Checked the sensor at the block and at the ecu. It seems fine. Fuel consumption went down from 19 litres pr 100km to 15 litres pr 100 with the maf unplugged. It also starts easy and idles good (even in Drive..) But if i give it too much throttle with the maf unplugged then the engine stalls @ 1000rp...

I think both the throttle position sensor and maf are faulty. Planning on changing them both.

Anybody know where to get a cheap trotthle position sensor or maybe cleaning it could get it to work?

Changed ecu today.... made no difference to the problems...

Thanx, i'll check if the bolt can be thightened. But if i have to re-thread the engine block then i'll leave it alone.... been like that for 2 years so...

Okay, did some more testing. *Sympthoms: Car is hard to start. Dies when throttle is applied (when cold and sometimes when hot) and uses awful amounts of fuel. It reads 19litres pr 100km. Problem increased when airfilter got changed.* 1.Tested idle control valve : Ok 2. Tested resistance in engine t...

I looked a little closer today but could not find any earths around that area. http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f134/toillball/Photo-0201.jpg I'm guessing this is the knocksensor? http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f134/toillball/Photo-0202.jpg The bolt screws in at an incredible angle. I'm guessing...

I'll try to take a better picture to get this sorted out...
Thanks for the replies

http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f134/toillball/Photo-0194.jpg Its behind the idle control valve and screws into the block underneath the sparkplugs. Looks like something used to be there, not sure what it does there now. The oil level stick holder also comes from that bolt. The picture was worse ...

Just thought I'd share with you that the average fuel consumtion is 17.9 litres pr 100km at the moment since i cleaned the maf....
The car is beginning to run a tiny bit better, still bad though...

still waiting for the "new" ecu.

Leftside drive version,
Do you remove the glovebox og could you reach it underneath the under-panels?

Its -10 celcius outside and after i cleaned the maf he car runs (even more) like shit. Same symphtoms, just worse. It uses 16 litres\100km and misfires throughout the range. It stalls and dies everywhere. At least when the engine gets hot it idles and i dont have to use both pedals (auto tranny) to ...

Dosent volvo c70 have that color stock? Or some kind of gold at least.

How much work and what do i need to fit cruisecontroll on my 460 turbo (auto tranny)?

I've also seen some aftermarket kits online, if anyone has experience with these please fill me in.

Drill a small hole in the bolt and use a "screw-extractor" tool. Not sure about the dimensions of the bolt but thats what i did when my wheelbolt snapped.
