Re: '94 2.0 ES - Very nice one up for sale
Wow, Jinyu tires, the owner really must have put some money in the car... Let’s have it right - incorrectly sized Jinyu tyres! :rofl: You can tell an awful lot about an older car simply from the tyres. Clearly this owner has gone with the “what’s the cheapest thing that’ll fit my car” approach. Ver...

Re: '94 2.0 ES - Very nice one up for sale
...The only further observation I'd make about the 480 subject of this post is that it appears to be missing the stone-chip stickers at the rear arches, which is always the clue to the arches having been done. In which case, it's a little disappointing to see rust bubbles forming again. On the eigh...

They don't give a shit, if they did they wouldn't have stolen your car in the first place.

Re: 480 GT
I thought to know the GT also had heated seats and traction control.

Re: Oooops I did it again....

Re: The 66k Mile Garage Find
Also heute ist Samstag und ich hoffe Sie sind nicht enttäuscht. Allerdings wünsche ich auch viel Glück weil ein 480 ist nicht wie ein anderes Auto. Es spricht für den Verkäufer das er bereit ist das Auto selbst zu überfuhren. Generell sind die Briten und die Schotten besonders anständige Leute. Aber...

Re: Speedo Fix failed - What to try next?
I just want to express my compassion. In my 480 time I had struggled with this long time and it nearly drove me mad. Changed dashes and computers several times, in the end the cause seems to have been the speed sensor. Temporarily workarounds: -take notes of rpm vs speed -speed tickets usually are a...

Re: 480 with sliding vinyl sunroof in Haarlem, Netherlands
It was driving and there was no time to take a picture, I spotted the 480, and only then the roof. It was the first 480 I'd seen in a couple of years actually.

480 with sliding vinyl sunroof in Haarlem, Netherlands
For about two weeks I spotted a black 480 with a sliding vinyl sunroof in Haarlem, Netherlands. I've never seen a 480 with an opening vinyl roof before.

Re: Volvo 480 powertest in Dutch magazine
In general we know the 2l engines are conservatively rated. I know my car was healthy though I doubt it would have had 118HP.
