Sorry for my poor explanation, I only have spark when I turn the key, not with the key on "contact" position. The car is at Volvo and being tested. I'll pass them this information but we still think that something is blocking fuel injection... Still to be found
Thanks a lot

Re: 1991 Turbo ignition problems
The battery was disconnected during all the clutch work and reconnected again prior to try and start the car.

Re: 1991 Turbo ignition problems
I checked having spark on the spark plugs by taking out each lead, connecting a new spark plug to the lead and then make a pal turn the key to ignition while I hold the spark plug end to the engine to have ground. I can see a bright, consistent spark. Has anyone had a faulty injection relay? Are ECU...

So a too high brake liquid level alone can cause an ABS system failure?

Re: Juddering in 1st and reverse!!
I know it's an old post but I'd like to share some information.
I've been fitting a new clutch in my 1991 turbo and while dismounting the gearbox we saw the rear gearbox rubber support was broken and replaced it. Most of the dashboard vibration on 1st and 2nd gear are gone.

Re: Now infocenter is dead??!!
There is this guy in Madrid that has for sale many dashboards from different years. I've bought several parts from him and he checks thoroughly parts before selling.

Re: Sunroof coupling piece Glashubdach Leitungsverbinder
Hi Joseph. I have not taken a look into Europe shipping prices. I guess I would send them via normal unregistered post if that's fine with you, I can also ask for registered post price and I'll come back to you asap. i'll make sure the packing is sturdy enough to make it arrive unbroken. I guess it ...

Re: Faulty VEM = Fixed! ... and air-con works now too!
Hi. I just bought my first 480 turbo (1991) and I'm having similar trouble to what you tell in the post. Mine does this:at first nothing works but AC max. When I've done about 15 kms everything works fine. :shock: Have checked all fuses and relays, have replaced the VEM and the scrappy one I found s...

Re: Wanted: Heater Matrix & VEM
All fuses and relays double checked. Seems all left to check should be the resistor. Is it possible that this resistor unit alone is causing all this trouble? Why does it start working after a while? Is it related with the engine vent starting to work once the engine heats? What a poltergeist for Go...

Re: Wanted: Heater Matrix & VEM
Hello Aidan. I'm having the same problem you had in this post in 2012. When I turn the car on, neither aircon, vent or heating work, no matter if I turn the vent speed selector, but AC max works perfectly. Once I have run about 15-20 kms everything starts working correctly. Tried changing the VEM, d...

Re: Turbo meter wont' go pass halfway.
You've been of great help. My mechanic was wondering exactly the same, telling me that the needle shouldn't go pass where it is if we were expecting something around 0.45 bar. So all the videos I've seen on youtube that push the needle to the end of the yellow zone are tuned? I really have no need t...
