Volvo 480 Club Europe

its for the oil pressure gauge that fitted under the radio.

just follow the top radiator hose back to the side of the cylinder head. there are three 10mm bolts holding the cover over the thermostat. its below the distributer.

the other end of the hose dos'nt need to go any where its just it you dont put any thing on the end of the oil brether the fumes will make a mess under the bonnet. the idea of the hose is to direct the mess and the fumes down under the car. hope that made sence.

that's what iv done on my car and as a bonus it idles perfectly. i would suggest you get a piece of hose long enough to reach to about level with the bottom of the sump.

how it looked when i got it http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc36/Delboy480/Image007.jpg http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc36/Delboy480/Image006.jpg it had the normal cloth interior in it at first how it is now http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc36/Delboy480/IMG_0127.jpg new front spliter and...

im looking for some info on the cylinder heads. basically the clutch has gone completely now and no one round hear want's to touch it and the water pumps leaking and the timing belts needing changed and the engine is self has 135,000 on it. the thing is i have a complete engine with 50,000 on and al...

mine dos'nt have that pipe ether the return from the rack just goes straight back to the reservoir. mines a 1991 turbo

can you put a picture of the connection you have bridged to see if we car work out what rating of fuse you need.

if you have run the engin/turbo hard enough to melt pistons mybe the turbo has had it.

when was the oil and filter last changed? mine was doing the same as yours (smocking at idle) and when i changed the oil and filter it stopped doing it. i put it down to the old oil being too thin when hot and getting past the oil seals in the turbo. probably the turbo is quite worn aswell 135,000 a...

il get back to you later as its one of my mates that's looking for something to do over the winter but if he's not interested i might be as a parts car. also where is the car located?

when you say it doesn't drive is that just because it has been sat so long or is there something else wrong with it? will it still start

im going to take the engine out of my turbo as the clutch has finally gone and i want to do a few other things to it while it's out. i am more than capable of doing the job but im going to be doing it in my front garden and i don't want to remove the sub frame so my question is can the engine and ge...

how much are you looking for it?

hi takashi . if you could get a picture of the pipe so as i could see that would help.

but going by what you have said i think the pipe you are talking about is the return line to the tank so there wont be any pressure in it so it should be easy to fix but i still like to see it to be sure.

the pictures worked for me. that is the oil level and oil temperature sensor.

you say it's worse when the cooling fan comes on and you say in another post the some thing is draining the battery. I would start checking the alternator as it sounds like it cant keep up with the power demand and the ECU's aren't getting enough power to keep them running right. the alternator coul...

how much for the lot?

how the hell did it even start in the first place

there was 16 car that turned up but there was confusion about what car park we were supposed to meet at. mine was the only 480 there in fact mine was the only 400 series volvo there . pictures are on the volvo owners club site.
