Hi all, this is a great thread one I tried to get going before when I had a 480 Paris Edition. Thats gone and I now have a V40 2L T. I'm thinking of competing in the National B rally championships and think that the 480 would be good and quick funny choice. I cant use the turbo as it would put me wi...

Muppet!! Right I have got to the bottom of it. The 2-4-1 reading was a red herring. The distributer cap was totaly worn out, I have replaced it and the rotary arm and all is well!!! :D :D :D :D Such a School boy error, just gose to show you should always start with the basics. I have also got all th...

Ahh yes...that sounds like you have an iffy flywheel position sensor. - Mounted at the very top of your gearbox. on a small metal bracket. 2 x 10mm bolts. Easy to change. What a nightmare! Could not get hold of a new one easily, so got a second-hand one of a Renault 19. Easy to remove but a pain to...

That is so cool!! I dont know of any other car compay that lets YOU get your own fualt codes.

Right now i'm getting 2-1-4 Ignition RPM signal erratic, any ideas?

Thanks for the quick reply, err... where is said Diagnostic box and socks?

HELP! My cars died and I need it for Christmas. I have some engine problems and I don’t know ware to start. Driving back from Tescos, got some spluttering, bit like it was out of petrol. Managed to get to Petrol station and fill up. Drove off and still spluttering, cant ideal and any accelera...

So driving round roundabout some git just pulls out in front of me and then stops. Brakes on skidded at about 5mph and bang. Bloke then looks at me and then guns it off round the roundabout with a big dent in the side of his car, cant see him for dust. So looks like I have to replace the front wing....

So did Volvo just leave the connector hanging no models without air con?

Right just had a look nope, my oil level sensor seems to be all connected up.

Did all 480's come with air con? It dose not have any sign of it in the cockpit :¬)

Sorry the stereo is working.

So all the stuff on that side is not light up so you have to fumble finding switches when it is dark?

All my main dash seems to be working (apart from outside temp reading see other thread) but on the left hand side section, i.e. stereo and heater got no lights.

Dose this section have it’s own fuse?
Do I need to take the dash apart to fix it?
If I do how do you get the dash apart?

Diving around, I’m getting a dancing reading: 1,3,5,2,1,4,1,3,1,2,1,1,3,4,2,1,3,9,6,3,1 and so on. When I stop it drops to a chilly -40 slightly higher when its wormer. But it’s very cold at the moment, but definitely not -40. So my questing is, how do I got about fixing it or dose it ...

Right got some photos sorted and I'm now aloud to post them, YAY! Right, cycled below is the connector. Like I said it’s strangely cable-tied to the dip stick tube. http://www.dreamcolours.net/locost/random-volvo-connector-bay.jpg So the wire goes across the front of the bay and then via the ...

Hi all, Just got my 480ES (E18FP) and I have been checking oil and that sort of thing and found a loos connector cabletied to the dipstick tube. It's a whit connector comming from the gray wire in the image below, any ideas? OK, cant attache images yet. That's not so helpfull. Ok runs across the fro...
