Also checked MAF resistance: was at 190. turned it up to 320 and it's ready to go in once I find a set of new hoses. Has anyone tried ...

Re: Didn’t pass MOT/TÜV…Spanish ITV

I will try to help even if I don't have any experience with the non catalytic turbo. I don't think the idle adjustment has to do with the emission problem. Atleast in Sweden the emission is measured att 2000rpm. My guess is that you have som leakage somewere that sucks in air so it does not pass thr...

Re: Instrument cluster/speedometer repairs

One question: If I understood it correctly one of your speedos work even when it's cold but just not between 20-60Km/h?

Then from what I have read that is typically a Stepper motor problem in the speedometer so then everything else seem to work and problem most likely is the speedometers.

Re: Instrument cluster/speedometer repairs

On my recent 480 that I bought about a month ago the speedometer was dead and info centre worked only sometimes. The dashboard had been replaced but I also had the original dash/cluster so I started testing switching the different parts. For me what I found was that the Speedometers all worked, all ...

Re: 3d printed spare and repair parts

Well done mate, these are really useful!‎ I'd be interested in four of the lower door clips when you resolve the issue of them staying attached. Are you having trouble with where it meets the metal door or the door card? Also, would like to repair my original window mechanism with one of your parts...

Re: 3d printed spare and repair parts

A very generous first post indeed! Can't thank you enough for that. Now.... how about a post about your cars and their progress? :D I can post some pics of my ES 95, the interior is more or less finished except the driver seat that I would like to repair. The Turbo 94 is in overall good condition, ...

Re: 3d printed spare and repair parts

I have printed both parts in ABS and PLA during development but I have used ABS for example in the electric window repair kit since it's supposed to withstand heat and last longer.

3d printed spare and repair parts

Hi everyone, My 480 interest has just recently gotten more active again after buying a turbo 94 last year and a ES/GT 95 this year along with my rustbucket Turbo 90 that I have had since 2001. A month ago after buying the 95 I started restoring it, I started with the interior along with all the elec...
