Volvo 480 Club Europe

Hi, I have just started getting more active in the Volvo 480 community after many years so haven't seen this until now. Is there anything happening with this? I'm interested in minimum one set of rear lights. I have started looking into doing some casting myself but it will not be easy or cheap. Thi...

Today I removed my exhaust system from my old 480 that will be scrapped. Still looks ok after more than 15years 😁 , just miss on exhaust pipe. http://www.volvo480center.com/upload/images/2/avgasbygge/IMG_20181117_151457.jpg When it was just finished. http://www.volvo480center.com/upload/images/2/200...

I will try to spread it to other Volvo 480 clubs also, but there does not seem to be much activity other than here.

I have made some updates to the DRL lamp "glas" and been able to copy it quite close. There are some tweaks still to be made but the main challenge is the print out and material to make it more transparent and minimize the printout patterns. I will test a better material today and see if it is possi...

Closest I could find is the Wehrle 20 210 100A, same pin configuration and 12v 30A.
I cannot find any info on the current for 20 210 032 but I cannot think of anything that should take more than 30A.

Did a search to help and only found this in Netherlands https://www.marktplaats.nl/a/auto-diver ... ousPage=lr

ok added mine (sort of in correct area )

but photo not visible, probably done somat wrong . . .. . .

I can see the picture of a nice red 480 so it seem to work now.

I like that you added pictures of your cars, I will do that also.

If there is anyone that don't want to use Google or don't have any Google account but want to add you cars then I can do it for now so just send me the info.

I have double checked everything but somehow it does not work. The map is set to editable by anyone who have the link but it still requires users to login to edit it.
Anyway, I added new layers, the idea is to have one for each country so that you can toggle what country you to list 480s in.

I know what you mean about giving to much information to Google.
The map is supposed to be open for edit by anyone and info say it does not require login but when I check it that is not correct .

I got what I think is a fun idea when reading some spotted topics today. What would people think about having a Volvo 480 map? Google supports making own maps with points of interest so I created one and added my cars as markers. This way people that live or visit in my area can see and search if th...

Great to hear that it can help others, if you have any issues or feedback then just send me a message. I have thought of making one bigger replacement part that holds the wires but I want to see how good this can stand wear and tear first. I have nearly finished some new 3D models of the two black c...

Hi
Has anyone tried or know anything about this kit?

Hi I thought I would share something like a long term test :) I installed Bilstein dampers (not sure if they were called B4 then but looks the same) on my -90 Turbo around 2002 with 40mm Lesjöfors lowering springs. I ran at least 140000km with them during 9 year before other problem made me park the...

Hi Just recently got annoyed that my boot kept falling down on the 480 that I was scrapping for parts. I remembered that I had some old gas struts laying around from two Ford Pumas that were cleaned out and used for track racing. I tested and they are little longer but actually fitted really nice, I...

I looked at the turbo hose kit that you linked to and it looks good. If you buy it then it would be nice to hear what you think of it.
Here is a link ti the those that make

On a scale of 1 to impossible, where does the indicator lense sit? and what about the lens for the rear light cluster ? I have thought of doing this but the size and complexity of three different colors in one part is the problem. An idea I have is making three separate pieces (blinker, break light...

OMG......... :hopping: On a scale of 1 to impossible, where does the indicator lense sit? It will be hard, the main problem is the size since most 3D printers are to small and then there is the internal pattern that also will be hard to reproduce. Will probably have to split it in to two part at le...

I just started modelling a replacement part for the position light that easily crack since I had a lamp laying around with good blinker glas. This is just the first test to see how the size is, so a lot of work left and it's not transparent as it should be. http://volvo480center.com/upload/images/2/...

So I thought I would post a summary of my Volvo 480 history and current 480 activities. My first connection with the Volvo 480 was with my parents 1986 ES that they bought around 1994. This is the car I later learned to drive in and in 2000 I got hit by another car(low speed) in it so it was scrappe...
