Sorry,

Didn't notice that martin allready replied

Well, better twice then not at all

Jow, The thing I unplugged is a litle plug, long and thin. Its a cable wich comes from a bigger cable and the little plug and cable sort of seperates from it. Its positioned between the engine and the intercooler. The plug should only be attached when you adjust the idle on a warm engine. When the p...

I'm thinking bout emptying the cat. I have got a few questions bout it. I know this was a common item on this forum, but i couldn't find these specific things. Will the fuel consumtion increase or decrease by emptying? What is the best way of emptying? Will the car still pass the test (APK in Hollan...

makes sense

But they spare on materials

Maybe the tune from "back to the future".

Is symbolic for the 480, altough it's a car from the 80's, it could be from the future

By the way, it's a nice tune too , too bad they used a delorean instead of a volvo 480

Maybe it has been possible to order one without the badges. Funny thing is that the usualy ask more money for that instead of less

Jow, I'll check the whole electrical system for power leaks. is the only way to find out. Maybe it's the alarm wich is causing the leak. One of my door sensors is broken, but I don't know if this wil cause power leak. Luckely I'm using the car every day so it wil start without problems, but you can ...

That's okay. For I'm from holland, it took me some time to figure that out too (bout the differnet type of belts). I'm also pretty new to the whole 480 stuff. :? Luckely ( :angry: :cryhard: ) I bought a 480 turbo with some work to do, so I've got plenty of possibilities to find out about the car. I ...

chigo, The belt you are talking about is for the power steering, airco (if available) and water pump. Timing belt is for transferring the rotation of the crankshaft to the camshaft. The first one has grooves in the lenght of the belt, te second one has teeth (in the width of the belt). A bit hard to...

I know this topic isn't new, but I have an anoying thing going on with my alternator belt. When I start the car up, the alternator belt will start squeeking. It only does it when you drive away or use an electronic device wich needs alot of power. After a few squeeks it won't be heard untill the nex...

Guys, Just read the following topic and do the same thing I did: http://volvo480.dragons.org.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=9342 I unplugged the earth connection wich is positioned between the intercooler and the engine. its a little black plug wich is seperating from a larger cable. The plug is only used...

Thanks mate, Unplugged it this morning and the engine was running soooooo smoothly. I'm gratefull for your advice. I'm expecting that the loss of batterypower will be solved too. I've written in an other post, that someone had a simmilar problem and, same like me, lost a lot of batterypower over nig...

Ok, I found out how to adjust the idle, and i thought it was working fine. That was with a warm engine. :angry: This evening, when i left my girlfriend, the car was obviously struggling to keep running, idle was about 400, afer warming up, idle went up to 900 without any further problems. It seems t...

I'm talking bout an exhaust with an extra damper wich is removable so you get two "sound options".

With the damper you'll get a pretty soundless exhaust, without it it should really roar.

I'm wondering if the extra damper will cost a lot of power because of any extra backpressure.

Hello everybody, I'm a newbie here on the forum, but hoping to get a lot of experience with the volvo 480 and being able to share this. My first experience, replacing a starter engine on a 480 turbo went pretty well, but it its like putting an elephant in your rear pocket :-), there's very little ro...

Hi Guys, Does anybody have experience with a dualsound exhaust (without the sliencer) under his 480turbo? Im curious about increase in torque and the sound it will give. I expect the power to be a little higher but no major changes while there's still the catalist underneath the car. I'm planning on...

The sound you are hearing during the startprocedure is the mechanism that should normally disengage the starter engine after releasing the key. As soon as the engine will run at a higher speed than the starter engine there is a second mechanism that will disengage the starter engine in case the firs...

When I start my car there are always the various controll lights, but after all lights gone out there is always the ABS and the Brake warning light that remain on for about 30 seconds. I've been driving on slipery roads and found out that the ABS is working properly. The strange thing is that the tw...
