Green Book Archive
Posted: Sat Jan 12, 2019 2:53 pm
The idea for this thread is to collect together as many of the original Volvo Green Books as possible for the 480 - there are a few available for download on the main site and some others in various locations around the internet, but it would be nice to have them all listed in a central location. If anyone is unaware of them, they are the books that Volvo technicians would have had back in the day and go into incredible detail on virtually every aspect of the car. Pretty much the extreme far end of the spectrum relative to a Haynes manual.
James has kindly lent me his blue folder and I'm going to have a go at scanning in as much of it as possible for posterity.
books in the folder are as follows:
Section 0: Fault Tracing/Repairs/Maintenance, Specifications, 1986-
Section 1: Fault Tracing/Repairs/Maintenance, Volvo Service Program, 1990
Section 2: Reconditioning, B18E/F/FT, 1986-
Section 2: Design/Function, B18F/FT, 1987-
Section 2: Fault Tracing/Repairs/Maintenance, Fuel System (Fenix) B18E/FP/B20F
Section 3: Design/Function, Electrical System, 1986-
Section 3: Fault Tracing/Repairs/Maintenance, Electrical System, 1986-
Section 3: Fault Tracing/Repairs/Maintenance, Wiring Diagrams, 1986-89
Section 4: Design/Function, Power Transmission, 1986-
Section 4: Reconditioning, Gearbox, 1986-
Section 4: Fault Tracing/Repairs/Maintenance, Power Transmission, 1988-
Section 5: Fault Tracing/Repairs/Maintenance,Section 5: Design/Function, ABS, 1987-
Section 5: Fault Tracing/Repairs/Maintenance, Brakes, 1987-
Section 5-6-7, Design/Function, Brakes/Suspension,Steering/Springs, 1986-
I've scanned in the ABS design/function book as a test, right now it's just a standard PDF but I might have a go at making it searchable. It's in full colour and relatively high quality and clocks in at about 40MB, but with modern broadband speeds hopefully that's acceptable. It's a lot of pages to scan but I'll see what I can do (if anyone wants any specific sections done first then let me know), and if anyone has any other books then please do link them here and once we've got all (or most) we can ask a moderator to clean the thread up a bit
