speedometer
Hello, I'm new here so I ask for a little tolerance.
I have a problem with the speedometer stopped the show and does not want to load or kilometers, but the information panel works ...
I need some advice on repairs.
Thank you Paul

If you do a search of the forum then you'll find plenty of similar topics which may give pointers.
Does your infocentre give mpg/avg speed readings?

Re: speedometer
means the instrument binnacle is not getting a speed signal.
could be as simple as the multiplug connecting loom to binnacle being loose. could be speed sensor/connections down the way ect

Re: speedometer
Ok. So throw on removing indicators disconnect connectors, disassemble, clean it and try to engage ... when it then I will not go and try some speed sensor on the gearbox? Complete in the worst case soldered circuit board in the speedometer?

Re: speedometer
I'd tend to try connections before speed sensor which is difficult to access I believe

Re: speedometer
Speed sensor is expensive as volvo almost doubled the price at the last price review. The turbo engine is a pig to try and change the sensor but the other engines are quite straightforward to do.
When I last changed the sensor on the turbo it took me over an hour and a half and I gave up in total frustration. Went and took the dogs for a walk had a cup of tea went back out and changed the sensor in just under 15 minutes.
I was doing this from underneath the car as there is no way to do it from the top on a turbo. The NA engines can be worked on from the top and it is just a slow business but be warned DISCONNECT the BATTERY FIRST

Re: speedometer
Even such a stupid question, how to look and where you will see the speed sensor?
This, I disconnected the battery, the fact can not happen, I par car repaired at home, but the V480 is a total mystery to me ...

scroll down and look for photographs with the title speed sensor
you will see the speed sensor with a hex key on the support holding it in place.
