Volvo 480 Club Europe

Okay, He is back and so is his 480. Brand new paint and a new rear fender. I'm sorry for not replying on the questions. Anyway, the next weeks I will be busy rebuilding my 480. After thay I hope to start on the light clusters again. I'm affraid I will only be making the small sidemarkers rear and th...

Indeed it is the panel underneath the windsceen.
Some bilateral (don't know if this is the right term) tape and put this on the underside al around the edges.
Worked perfectly for me. Tested it up to 180 kmph .

greets

Respect!!!

They definitely look great.
Post some pics when on the car

Hey there,

I would say sand blasting first, but with a fine sand to get a nice result.
After that I would do powder coating. It is better resisant than spray coating when applied right.

Good luck with it.

You can make one your own. Costs somewhat like 10 euro's and works fine, fully adjustable.

Let me know if someone wants to know how to make one.

Hi Murf,

I'm looking for a headlamp washer pump, part number: 340 22 05 - 3.
I am wondering if you have one, and if so, what would you ask for it.

You can pm me, or post here on tis topic.

An exhaust out of the middle of the bumper is indeed, as good as, impossible. There the box for the spare tire that is completely in the way there. It's a real challenge working on the exhaust, I can assure you :wink: There is room for a dual exit though. I'm currently busy creating a stainless stea...

Thats excactly the problem on a 480. You don't have much room left under the car. The exhaust has to bend over the rear axle, while otherwise the car looses its rear suspension :wink: Anyway, getting rid of the cat gives the best effort in power, rear damper gives some more, the bends in between are...

The rear caps (for heat protection) can be obtained from a glove compartment of a scrap car (you will need two scrap cars for that). The lights used there are exactly the same, only the panel to fit them in is different. Good luck finding them. By the way, haven't yet been able to check the scrap ca...

Great info people.

Curious bout my colour code now

Greets,

I will keep an eye too. Have got 5 480 on srapyards nearby but never looked fot the footwell lights for I have them on my own car allready.

Maybe I have some luck.

cheers

Hey guys, Long time since I looked here. As some of you allready heared production on the units is a bit slow right now. This is due to my work, wich costs about 60 hours a week. All the moulding of the light units will have to take place in the evenings. I hope you alle understand that it may take ...

HI,

Try using the mbc with the boost solenoid still in place. You can just put it between the boost solenoid and the wastegate (red hose).
Worked pefectly for me. It made a really big improvement in lower revs.

Hi guys, Indeed 22 euro is with the postage costs included for sending only one pair of units. Only the front units will need a complete package to send them so this will cost a vew euro's more. I will put all the prices for that on a list when I have time for that and post them here. It will clear ...

I tried the first option (not going around corners). Now looking for a new volvo 480 turbo

Indeed anoying having this queeking all the time.

By the way, bout the avatar: Hope to have my website ready soon. It will contain all kinds of drawings like the on I use as avatar. There are also normal drawings... A friend of mine is making it and it only needs some html editing wich will be done by someone else. The drawings can be ordered for a...

Hi guys, I have checked every possible hose I could find under the bonnet and found only one that was bad. It was the hose from the throttle valve to the thing attached to the idle valve. Went for a run, still the same problems. Now tried fitting my spare idle valve (while cleaning the other), still...

Hi all, With this boost solenoid, is it possible that when it is broken the car starts stuttering when lifting throttle? Mine does this and for some reason I think the boost solenoid is the cause. I also noticed that something on the car sometimes gives a small bang. don't know if it is this solenoi...

Hey guys, As you all noticed, the production of the units has started. I must say I'm pretty pleased with them now. I have been able to get most of the air out of them. 1 hour ago I opened the mould for the large front blinkers and they look promising. I need to adjust the air outlet a little to let...
