Volvo 480 Club Europe

How much for the indicator/High and low stalk. Are they interchangeable for left and right hand drive cars? Mine is a LHD.

My low beam died and then the highbeam followed the next day, no more clicking. Figured it's toast

The problem was fixed today :hopping: It turns out that the top two nuts that are on the flange that connect the turbo to the exhaust manifold came loose. One of them had come off entirely! :angry: I guess whomever had the car before me did not use the right ones. Just regular 13mm nuts. Anyways, we...

I think this story has hit every car forum on the planet by now... LOL!

E36 320i with some go fast goodies on it, left it with my Parents in Vancouver whilst I am in Sweden. They love driving it. I miss it dearly... It was such a quiet drive in comparison... ROFL

Hey! I have a BMW too... LOL!

Actually I think this vid was staged. But if it wasn't the rednecks got what they deserved.

Ohhhh, maybe that is what is wrong with my car. I could not find the source of this metal vibration sound that shows up only at a certain RPM

Did that since I bought it, but it passed MOT

No, that did not make a difference

Aaaargh! LOL!

When driving or revving at a stand still I do not hear this noise. However when I am driving and the boost picks up it sounds like a small exhaust manifold leak, but if I stomp on it it changes pitch almost like an air hose flapping an goes back to the first sound. It is rev dependant, but again... ...

I am from BC Canada, however I am in Sweden right now and this is where I saw my first 480. Of course I bought a boosted version...

I had the Audi TT dump valve on my last turbo, straight swap and works perfectly, 20 min job :D Think this is the one, anyone want to correct me?? https://sslrelay.com/s74326199.oneandoneshop.co.uk/sess/utn;jsessionid=1547fe4b4caef99/shopdata/index.shopscript Linky not worky, it was an https one ma...

Really? How long does it take? Because this has been like this since I got the car last summer. Still plenty of boost and spools up fast.

Good work, really nice MR2. I want to get one but it's not an option for me right now I do miss my Mk3 Supra though. Like that 300 ZX it would take a while before it hit full boost and them BAM!

Speedo runs out at 220. But now I have a GPS, when it warms up I will try again and see what we get.

I can actually hear my Internal (Recirc) one enough when the boost is up. As soon as I let off (low rpm, high boost) you hear a nice TSHRHRHRRR sound (muffled abit), mind you it's a T25G not the original T2 so maybe thats why. I know people outside can hear it if they are close enough but it's not a...

Would be interesting to see how this pans out. Good luck!

Good guide, going to give this a go tomorrow.

Well, I did run into the 480 nut I bought my car from last week, TWICE! in one day... LOL! he was in his GT and was in my T. We smiled at each other as we passed. I think he was happy to see this gal on the road. HE said he was sad to sell it when he did, cuz it was more fun to drive that the GT. Bu...

:D Good to hear. I was pleasantly surprised with my purchase of a 480T last year. I paid about $850CAN. It has a T25 upgrade from the T2 and a MBC fitted. Its hella fun to drive. Traction in winter is a drag but meh... I can still have fun with it :wink: If only the interior didn't rattle so much, t...

show me a 480 that doesn't need handbrake adjustment to pass!

LOL! Funny thing is after a very cold snap and some goofing off on my part. The e-brake barely engages now Guess I have some work to do!

I remember hearing a car with noisy exhaust driving by slowly one night. Then it came again and stopped. I looked out and there was one kid trying to get into my Subaru Alcyone VR, he was probably confused how the locks work... LOL! anyways before he even managed to get any further he had a 12guage ...
