Wanted: speed sensor that controls the speedometer

Cleaned up the garage and found some parts you want to sell? Or are you looking for that one part? You can advertise or request just about anything that has to do with the Volvo 480 in here: brochures, towing-hooks, antenna's, etc etc...

Wanted: speed sensor that controls the speedometer

Post by coyote1980 » Tue Sep 27, 2022 8:14 pm

Hi all!

I am alive and well, just incredibly busy, but still have my 480 :D

So far without problems, but the speedo monster has now taken a plunge at bullying me! And I am therefor looking for a speed sensor for the 1992-1995 480 model, part number 3467846, which sits in the gearbox.

The reasons I am confident it is the sensor are:
  • The mechanic said the resistance in the sensor is too high
  • The mechanic put a pulse on the connector that normally connects to the sensor, and that pulse made the speedo work without problems

Help is much appreciated: if you have a speed sensor available, preferably from a 1993 / 1994 / 1995 model, please let me know! :hopping:

I’m sure we’ve probably found the same things; one ‘sold out’ at CEC Brighton, perhaps worth a call just in case. The site looks rather old school, could have one knocking about? £10.

Then the £100 one here: https://www.allcarpartsfast.co.uk/genui ... 46-sensor/

I expect you’re preferably looking for a used part. ☺️

Thanks! I was able to get a second hand one this morning, so fingers crossed that works and fixes it :D
