Thanks for all replies!!! :) The car is now driven into the garage :hopping: : http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y228/Anton_K/DSC00035.jpg It turned out to be that white connector called X12 which is located behind the center console(ashtray) as rocket_480 pointed out and also my grandfather(using hi...

Perfect 480_rocket! :D Thanks for the info, just what is needed for tomorrow. Spoke with the "old man"(grandfather) by phone today and mentioned the problem and he got "intrested in sorting it out" :) his into electrics and asked if I have the wiring diagram for the 2litre, but I don´t have it in...

Hello, thank for the replies! 480_rocket, if you mean by "terminals of the fuel pump" the connector that goes to the fuelpump(4 wires in the connector), there is coming NO power.. So, it seems like an electrical problem.. :) (hopefully, as a new fuel pump is worth about 300euros from Volvo!) I´ve...

Milosz_480, my wallet would certainly like this posibility

Do you suggest me to use contact spray in all connectors going to the battery or where and how to start?

Thanks so far

No fuel gets to the injectors and the fuelpump has no sound when you turn the key. The fuse is also okey and I have changed the relay.

It looks like a new fuelpump..

Anton

Hello Dakyy,
Yes, it cranks but doesn´t start. I shall check the spark and if fuel does get to the injectors, as described

Later, thanks

Unfortunately not, wish it had been that..but thanks, it can easily happen.

Anton

Hello, My 2.0l Volvo 480gt -94 has been parked for about 3months(restoring the interior) but few days ago I wanted to drive it into the garage but it wouldn´t start. I remember there was plenty of fuel when I stopped driving it in the spring, but now the infocenter showed: FUEL, one bar. I filled...

Hello Daniël! I had both bumpers of the particular colour resprayed 2 years ago, down from the bumper stripes and where they end they made a gradual transition to the original paint. I consider myself as a hard customer but was in the end really happy with the result. In certain light the colour ...

I belive Volvo recommended also as an alternative for Taurus 195/55/15. Vega and Vesas just 195/50/15? Started to like the low 195/50 profile on Vesas!

Some alloy refurbishment "googling" a while ago made me think UK is the place to fix alloy wheels!? Haven´t found such companys in Finland yet..search continues :) Anyhow, what I read on different car forums is that some people had bad experiences with powdercoating if the sandblasting was too ro...

Check this out: http://www.svenska480klubben.com/bakljusrenovering.html It´s from the Swedish 480 club and text is in swedish, but basically: -sand the rear clusters with 800-1200 wet sandpaper -degrease clusters -apply clear plastic primer(3 thin layers) -apply 2-component clear lacquer(max 3 la...

I'm quite tempted to go the 205/X, but I'd like some more pros or cons first. Anton, do you have any better picture(s) of these tyres fitted when you had them? The picture I found during search doesn't give them much justice! Two pictures: http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y228/Anton_K/DSC00017.jpg ...

Hello Darren, I´ll be soon in the same situation when getting some nice cruising tyres for my 15" wheels. I remember 195/55(on Taurus wheels) handling well and being still comfortable, when 195/50(on Cetus) made slightly more noise and rattles in the car. Also made a test, fitting bigger than nor...

Good luck with the new car Steve, looks like a good one! But.. Hope you after few cars come back Thanks for all the help so far!
Anton

Sounds good :D Lucky man! Here are some pictures of the original bodykit(club France): http://volvo480fow.free.fr/site/photos/volvo480_144.jpg http://volvo480fow.free.fr/site/photos/volvo480_143.jpg I think there at some point was a set of original sideskirts going on ebay and at the moment soon end...

Hello,
2x8W here too. I think best would be to add an amplifier(for example HA-2120 or 4120) for the rear speakers(fronts from the radio), recommended this way by volvo at the time.

Anton
