Volvo 480 Club Europe

My turbo does 9.1 l/100km at highway at 120 km/h (25.8 mpg at 74 mph), at city I get 11.5 - 12.5 l/100km (20.4 - 18.8 mpg). Maybe not the thread but does it make any difference in terms of consumption or engine care using 95 vs 98 octanes fuel?

I was recently reading some random threads about Volvo 480 in ths madhouse spanish car forum (forocoches). Mainly of people asking on opinions about the car in intention to buy one. This guy told the story about when he went into his town Volvo dealer where they had a 480 Turbo for sale. When asked ...

Interested.

Please PM me.

I do want a set of those too! How to?

Thanks

Hi Mr. Rietmann.

Still waiting for that refund we agreed for the broken taillight you sent me.

Any chances of getting the money? A month has gone now....

After changing the whole ABS Mk1 unit (250€) my car wouldn't still brake, the pedal was hard like stone. I have just changed ABS relays. Position J and K in the relay box. Both (ABS) and (!) lights off and the car breaking like new. On my 1991 turbo theese relays were Wehrle 20 210 006 and 20 211 00...

I finally have gone for he R134 conversion. The compresssor was part number 3485087, cross reference Valeo 699641. Two level pulley, 119 mm diameter 6+3 channels Theese are some valid replacements http://auto11.ee/part/FCN3541/DA+SILVA/ My mechanic was telling me that the whole system was filled wit...

thanks for that picture. Is that for 1991 models or just generic? Another 480 owner in Spain is telling me that after thoroughly checking his papers is telling me that between 1990 and 1993 B18FTs mounted DIESEL KIKI 3464919-4 reference wich was then changed for ==> 3449069. What is this !!!?? :shoc...

Hi Sppedy

Did you get a chance to go through your PMs? I'm interested in taillights.

Awaiting your answer.

Sure I have. According to the partsbook available on the download section there is only one reference when it comes to aircon compressors wich is 3450073. But that's no true at all. For what I know cars from 1990 to 1994 with chasis up to 592127 use a 3471827 and from there to production end it shou...

Anyone? In addition Volvo dealer in my town says reference number for my compressor doesn't even show up in their computer database. They are telling me 440s and 460s from same year should share the same compressor but they're not sure either. My most likely to be reference would be 3450073. Could a...

Hi folks. This is Balto, from Valencia, Spain. My june 1991 turbo is torturing me when if comes to the air conditioning. Finally got all the air conditioning wiring right and, at least, all buttons do their thing. In fact I had to spend over 200 euros for some AC specialist to fix it for me after tr...

Hi.

Looking for a A/C compressor for a june 1991 Turbo plus some hoses to replace rotten ones.

Any available? What would be the compressor reference number?

Thanks

Looks quite good. I'm going to try and find a complete set and come back to you at a certain point.

Thanks for the pics. Anyone with a good instruments black Frame to match this other grey frame?

Yes !

Anxiously awaiting those pictures.

That's exactly the web I was talking of. You can allways use the translator if using Chrome, gives you an idea of what it is. Those prices !! I'll wait for my birthday. Anyone with a decent left-hand driver instruments black plastic frame and the other grey frame that fits to the dashboard? Thanks!!

Thanks for the Skandix link I had already taken a look over there. There was this other site at Netherlands where they had almost everything. Anyone?

Hi fellows. So after installing a new stereo and front speakers Im moving towards renewing some interior parts. Dashboard plastic frame , a complete dashboard would be better. Instruments excluded. Also interested in some decent set of back lights and seals. I saw a while ago but can0t find again`, ...

I'm being pushed to rear cubby hole speakers renewal. They sound like shit. Has to be done. As I disassemble the thing I find that theese are no convetional size and I can't find any make that will do this size anymore. They are sepparate tweeter and "rest of the range" driven by a tiny 8 x 16 cms o...

Got it!

The cable going to the injectors had a faulty connection. Refitted and started at once.

So it was the injectors blocked.

Hope this might be useful to someone sometime.

Cheers
