Here you can talk about the joy owning a Volvo 480 brings. Non-technical discussions take place here, like what is the difference between an ES and a S version.

Well, mine broke a couple of weeks ago, is it a virus or something? But I just changed the coal-and-regulator unit at the back of the alternator, took 5 minutes and costed me about 11 euro. Works fine now...<br><br>/Johan, ES -87 <p></p><i></i>

alternator virus ???

Post by levensnevel » Sat Sep 07, 2002 4:13 am

Well I had an alterantor exchange @ 153,486 miles when mine broke down some 10 weeks ago ;(<br>At the workshop they confined to me that a 480 'consumes' an alternator, on average, every 74,580 miles / 120,000 km.<br>So if your 480 is nearing that mileage, or 149,160 miles you now know what to expect <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START ;) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... s/wink.gif ALT=";)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br><br>Levensnevel <p></p><i></i>
