Volvo 480 Club Europe

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

The battery was disconnected during all the clutch work and reconnected again prior to try and start the car.

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... Replaced the flywheel sensor for an original Volvo part. Still no ignition. And increasing electrical gremnlins Right before replacement of the flywheel sensor, whe turning the key I had the normal "check" on the infocenter. Showed range, the oil temp and back to the selected position info. No...

On the 4th every single cable follow to check integrity found this sensor on the gearbox lower side of the engine. It's a bolt that screws in the engine. Volvo part 3435172. Replaced it, but still no ignition. What does this sensor do? Still waiting for the replacement for the flywheel sensor, it's ...

How did this end for you?

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

I get (!) and (ABS) shortly lighted when I push the brake

Hello Have read almost every old topic but couldn't find a situation like mine here. My clutch was on it's last days so It had to be replaced. I went the hard way, dismounted the subchasis and I think I did a good job. The old one was on it's knees. Also replaced the gearbor rearmount that was all b...

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.

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.

Take a look if you need to.

Hi Joseph. I didn't have the gap this weekend to look into post rates. I'll send the pieces anywhere in Europe for 25€ P&P included.

I've pm you with payment options. Send me your address.

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 ...

Hi fellows. Tired of searching for new coupling pieces for my faulty sunroof I had to buy myself a whole sunroof to this german guy and cross fingers everything would be fine with the mechanism. it all went good and finally got me the couplig pieces in quite good state. So i decided to make poliuret...

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...

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...

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...

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...

HI. I'm a first time owner trying to solve a problem with my new 1991 turbo. Been reading at the forum but couldn't find a answer for my problem. The turbo meter needle on the dashboard set of clocks won't go pass halfway and will stay there no matter how far you push the turbo. The turbo seems to r...

HI everyone in the forum. This is Balto from Valencia, Spain. Just got myself a black 1991 480 turbo with 148.000 kms on the speedo and a gorgeous sunroof. I'm elated. Right now it's being transfered to me. I'll get my hands on her on tuesday. Can't wait. While doing the test drive with the seller, ...
