Volvo 480 Club Europe

-Well...How did I get here?

Just use the little wheels at the popup-motors to lift the popups manually
(or i got the question wrong ;)

Hi is a pneumatic system either you're mistaken or there are two kinds of systems. All that I know of are hydraulic. Ps . i have never seen them on a uk car so i dont know if they did them. In germany every car after 1990 must have it, and as telegraphroad stated they're broken on most 480s, a PITA...

looks like original volvo.
sadly not available any more.

Still surprised how high they look. Garry Me too, I saw the car last WE and on first sight it's not much deeper than mine (which got his 16 year old original standard xc-springs). But I was able to spot the difference when I drove behind it in the convoy on the lesser quality streets. This is a -40...

not really stranger and not on my car but strange enough i think. An ADAC helper fixed a gas cable with a lustre terminater (well thats the translation from babelfish, i'm speaking of the little plastic insulated metal clamps with two little screws). he just removed the plastic, fitted both ends of ...

on those with CEM III this should still work when you floor the pedal (together with switching off AC and rear demist while accelerating at full throttle) the older ones needet a spezial gas-cable for this to work which isn't produced anymore ( it had a switch which closed when on full throttle) hauke

Blame google for me being here ;)

I think I was searching for information on the CEM or something like that.

its supposed to measure the temperature of the coolant in the motor, so were else should it do that if not in the water? ;)

Just feel it could clean up better especially at the bottom of the engine. ok, just saw the pic. btw I want your steering wheel. Only one I've ever seen with red band was on eBay before Christmas. Was at work and got my wife to bid so was bidding with my head not my heart so missed out on it. All t...

May I ask why you want to clean this enginebay?

to me it looks as clean as it can get.

Yes the weather was really great, most of us left the meeting with nice sunburns. We had a kind of rally. A tour with questions to awnser, some 'bout our cars but more about special locations at the route. Nice thing to do, because you pay much more attention to the area than you would elseway. The ...

the turbo-colli in either flame-red or dark green is a dream of mine.
I hope I can collect enough money for one as long as there are some alive.

You Brits always need different leather ;) the fancy gt interiour you got and also the celeb ...
(still waiting to see a 'sport' interiour btw ...)

AFAIK the only difference is the side of the steering ;) And does the celebration have sillplates like this? http://480.deppmeyer.info/lippoldsberg05/sonntag/.slide_imgp0025.jpg (the label is not gold colored, thats just the pic) Hauke ps: the pic is no proof that there are green collections, someon...

Moin Klubertz.
nee, dashboard=Armaturenbrett.
Und genauer will er die schwarze Blende davor haben und die Befestigungen dafuer.
Damit wirst Du ihm kaum helfen koennen wenn Du nicht zufaellig nen Rechtslenker rumstehen hast.

Hauke

don't believe these parts can be interchanged between normal ;) cars and cars with rhd, cause the dash is mirrored.

hauke

and if you don't get useful answers there i'll ask some people at out meeting next weekend. (don't believe that this will be necessary thoug)

Hauke

Try http://volvo480.de and forum. ;)
Afaik there are some people who got fintec springs and there are enough english speakers to ask.

You can find a table here And an online Calculator here When driving at 120-140 km/h for a longer trip i get ~7l/100km which would be 33.6 mpg sometimes 6,8 sometimes 7,3 depending on the weather the traffic situation and the phase of moon :) When i'm in the mood to kick it and use one of the best t...
