It's definitely a 2 litre N/A car.

You can see the turbo gauge on the dash. Not sure it's à 2L.

Re: Window Regulator Cable Detached

Bonjour, I bought that one from a famous french dealer : https://www.oscaro.com/mecanisme-de-leve-vitre-valeo-850471-888882-1561-p It works very well, and the 'comfort' features do work, as it's driven by the CEM.

Re: My Volvo 480 is now a Volvo 480.000!!

Congratulations for the mileage of your 480 ! It looks really nice !

Volvo 480 can drive very long with proper maintenance (who said planned obsolescence ?). Mine is my daily driver and have 440 000 km with original engine. Hope I can reach 480 000 soon too !

wanted half leather seat cover front left

Hello,

I Have a LHD 1995 480 (french) and I'm looking for a left side seat cover, half leather in grey/black.

I guess RHD 480 have used right seat covers, but good ones on the left side !

The only cover could be easily send to France I guess.

Thanks !

David
