Volvo 480 Club Europe

Hi folks,

hoping someone can help, i'm looking for some information on which brake corresponds to each outlet on the master cylinder on a non-abs model car! can anyone help!

thanks

I'm looking for the same information! ^^

Would the Volvo 480 partsbook be of any use you you chaps?

I found the info I needed in the parts book for a RHD ABS car.

school boy error there guys , I nearly made same mistake but more by good luck than judgement I hadn't folded up the pipes I'd taken off

Thanks for the help!

I found my setup from page 433, with the (soon to be former) load sensing brake proportioning valve thingy. The picture had front right brake and rear left brakes reversed though! It seemed to be the same in some other picture too.

Anyway for me the top two brake lines (from bonnet towards rear bumper) were in a 1987 non-ABS Volvo 480:

1. Right front brake
2. Left front brake

and the to lower hanging rear brake ones were (from bonnet towards rear bumper) were:

3. Left rear brake
4. Right rear brake

Here's a link to an image I made:

I dont guarantee anything is correct though! I didn't do this for myself but rather for my mechanic who is changing the master brake cylinder and adding load proportioning valves to replace the big one in the rear (that is broken). I suspect my mechanic knows where the lines should go by himself but I have a nagging feeling he's testing my commitment to my Volvo. He has a habit of questioning that is it really worth to repair such an old car??
