Volvo 480 Club Europe

ok so is the engine misfireing? (stuttering) or cutting out completly. you say you have changed the sparkplugs and the ht leads but have you changed the distributor cap and rotor arm as well? what colour inlet manifold have you got (is it black or silver) and what colour ecu's do you have? *stutter...

Thanks for the reply, but as I mentioned Please notice that with or without turbo boost, this problem is happening. And I have to switch Off/On the engine during I'm driving to correct the problem and re-accelerate again. I got every things back as stock , and nothing changed! The problem happen whe...

Hi all, This problem happened when I renewed my engine since 6 months ago! I wrote about it before here: http://volvo480.dragons.org.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=18037 But, simply I will rewrite the problem in an easy way. What do you thing will makes your B18FT engine stop accelerating when you reach 3...

Hi V480TI
Yes, same engine + ecu + MAF...Injections....etc
We are talking about B18FT engine.
It's the same at 460-440-480

Hi I have this problem too, I noticed that the small water pump which cooling the turbo was stopping and also the water comes down from the plastic area at the end of this pump! I used (green water) the anti freezing liquid to discover the leak and it's great , you could notice some green areas arou...

BTW, I forgot to say that I have a fuel regulator fixed on my engine on the returned fuel pipe instead of the factory one, I disconnected it too, and the same problem occurred!

Hi guys Actually I'm driving my car without the stock boost solenoid for 4 years and it was great! I'm living in Syria, so it's hard to send the ECU to England and wait until it came back and test it, if anyone could help on this I'm ready to send it and pay to him. It will be great to reach the 170...

Hi Rocket

I'll try to disconnected the MBC tonight and replay from home.
Thanks

Hi bkf_uk Thanks for the post, There was a bad vacuum hose and I fix it. I forgot to write that I have 2 MBC's fixed in. One of them is setting to open 0.5 bar boost. The other is limiting the boost to don't go further than 0.9 bar Also, there is an Auto Gauge boost meter fixed on the dashboard so t...

Hi every body, I have a problem with my B18FT engine. After I rebuilt my engine , and finishing 500 Km of slow driving, I find out that my engine is cutting off on high load "More than 3K Rev RPM"! Let me try to explain the problem by an example: In any situation "warm or cold engine" I start my eng...

Actually,

I think that i need to renew the engine!

What parts I need to do so?
I mean gaskets and so?

I have to pay them all from outside Syria !

And also I'm wondering if there is any part fit on the B18FT and another one!

Hi Martinholmesuk, Hay man you can kill :kill: me if you say it again :D Maybe you melted a piston :shock: I want to say that the white smoke stop but it come out some times (actually just 2 times in this week) Also, the oil didn't go under the safe side yet. There are about 4 L of oil right now. BT...

Hi guys, Last night after a slow driving I stopped the car without turning it off. I smell something burning such as oil! Unfortunately, there were a lot of white smoke from the rear muffler! :cry: Now if you know that: I can see a splash of an oil on the floor each morning! Also, I can hear clearly...

After this long time
there is still a question to answer:

Try this: http://www.motorsportworld.co.uk/frame-detail.asp?PAGE=/manranges.asp In all honesty the KV85's a probably a bit overkill, I chanced upon them 2nd hand from a forum member and doubt that it's worth paying for a new set. The 8mm blue ones are probably a good upgrade however. :D Hi Ryan, Th...

Hi aibast, Hi every body, After I changed the fuel regulator with a new one which I can set it as I want , I need this gauge! I use an Auto gauge one Take the 12V line from the sound stereo line! And the signal line connected to the signal wire which comes from the Lambda Sensor. The lambda sensor h...

Thanks Ryan,

Is there any closer seller on the net?

The official website seems doesn't buy a part!

Really they are pretty awesome!!

Hi guys,

I noticed some miss fire and fireworks on my spark plugs wires!

So I need to change them all.

Is anybody having an idea about any sports kind or useful colored kind of wire?
Also which one is better?
-The silicon- or the silk?

Waiting for some help

Cheers

Thanks for your advice, I did.



Anybody preferred a special Blue Vacuum Hoses sellers website?

Hello Guys ,

I'm wondering if I can find any of those:

1 x DV26 'EVO' twin piston dump valve AND 1 x FK10 Dump valve fitting kit From BAILEY MOTORSPORT.

Good Clean Used one for shipping to Syria!



I hope so!
