Volvo 480 Club Europe

Saw a stripped out 440T do a mid to low 15. Had an MBC.

Oh no!! Shame for Esta...but sounds like a good home.

Mine might go to Loki (on here) the end of the year.

400bhp skyline casts a mighty shadow!!

Lol.

Its a luxo-barge. Maybe if we club together we can buy an IBD full of methanol. That MIGHT take it down.

Ahh i should have suggested "collapsed cat". - Baffles is a new one on me though.

I'm losing whatever 'touch' i once might have had.

It does sound like ya solonoid is broken Dan. Pull the pipe of the wastegate actuator see if she boosts then. oh having said that them volvo actuators are soooo weak it may not work like it does with a -31 actuator. steve Yes it will. - Worth a try, but be careful, you'll run infinite boost this wa...

The "unit" is the boost control solenoid. It bleeds off some air to effectively increase the pressure before the wastegate opens.

I mentioned it in my other post.

As far as broken wastegate - sure thats possible! Cat on it? Take it off and see if its caught any "bits"?

Oh you need one with a plug...its whether you're prepared to fit the plug from your old sensor or not!

I'd take the pipe off the cold snail of the turbo and check the shaft is spinning freely. I'd also check the wastegate is operating smoothly by hand. A little into the yellow is where the turbo runs if you shortcircuit the solenoid altogether, so it seems likely the solenoid it not doing anything - ...

I'd imagine you could register that in the uk...but i don't know for sure.

The one on my firebreathing skyline is still fine after a year and 4k miles. Thats got seriously got exhaust gas too, the manifold glows orange and the sensor is just after the turbo.

My guess would be close to 20 if not more.

Bosch 50-80k

See other thread. I'm the lambda sensor king...for some reason.

Personally i'd buy a universal and splice the plug off my old sensor. Bosch ls4 as per below link:- http://www.lambdasensor.com/main/muniversal.htm Or i'd buy the 35quid one from your link. Though you'd be better off with the bosch. Actually i'd tend to find a 3 wire (new) bosch on ebay and try and ...

lol. The point of fully comp is that you get YOUR car repaired/replaced if you crash, not just whoever you crash into. Its not just so you can drive other cars! Theres plenty of policys that are fully comp but don't have the other cars clause. The best way to get cheap insurance is to drive somethin...

Esta! get rid of that nasty Jag instead!

Lol. Good eyes there murf!
