Volvo 480 Club Europe

Hello JRT,

Nice if it was useful, pretty sure about the 2 x 8W(checked from the owners manual) but it´s possible it´s alternatively 4 x 6W? I will check again on monday when I´m home!

Hi! All I know is that there is some difference in colour between the Taurus wheels used on the twotone and the later ones on other cars. Don't know why... Intresting, also Cetus alloys, on 850´s, was made in two different colours. Your best option would be to simple have a painter scan & match t...

Hello, I belive CR-4025 was the optional radio model for Volvo 480 back in 1986(at least mine has been bought with a Volvo 480ES back in february 1987. In the Volvo 480 launch book in 86, there can be seen pictures of a TD-3055 radio. But as a "Tuner Deck" allways needs an separate amplifier there m...

If you have a portable cd/mp3/md player, you can easily combine it with the original cassette radio, using a cassette adaptor.

Just an idea

Do you also have Lyras? 205(/60) is no problem on 6", 205/55 would have been closets to stock, as I think 195/55 is on 14"
That 60 just gives the interior a break.

Soon changing to 15" Vegas and 195/55 tyres

Mvh.

Hi, unfortunately the technical service man wasn´t able to tell Taurus paint code :( I think I found Vega´s paint code at the back of the wheel(91 3), as volvos universal alloy wheels make-up spray has a very similiar code. But what comes to Taurus.. It´s not the same colour as Cetus(pity, ...

I also noticed the 480GT badge is no more available..

Yes, I would like to buy it.

You have a PM.

Regards,
Anton

Hahaa noticed it too

Hi Matthew! That sounds very likely..if it would stop working I will check it, good point :) I took a photo on my way back from the dealer: http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y228/Anton_K/DSC00013.jpg Had a chance while waiting on the car to test drive a C30(2.0l, not the one in the pic), and I must s...

Well, hade a word, and..we found specific alloy colour codes(there are at least 10 different) for 200/700/800/900 Volvo´s, but found no 400 codes. Anyway, I was told to call a man at Volvo´s technical service..so let´s see, they should be available somewhere for sure!

Until that,
Anton

Looks nice and solid..like a Volvo 480 T5R Good!

Remember reading that MatBat attached the bumbers to the body without those heavy pieces of metal, must save some! Also doesn´t affect balance.

Anyone know how much the bonnet weights? Feels very heavy.

Anton

After loosing my hope about the Info center, and already started collecting replacement parts, I´m so happy to announce that it´s working! :hopping: The car was at my local Volvo dealer, cambelt change, and when I picked it up..on my way home..I notice it was working :) Must ask what they did,...

Volvo 480´s crap!? Never. Sparkling charater is seldom fully balanced

Well, apart from: interior rattles and squeks, not 100% water resistance , handbrake..and suprising electronics..,*

I find it PERFECT as my summer car





*working and making slowly progress in all categories

Hello il Conte! :) I have actually the very same question, as I would like to refurbish my Taurus set. Same stands also for my set of Vegas, but I would like those original colour codes first. I´m picking up a few parts from my Volvo dealer next week, so I´ll have a word with them. Regards, An...

Currently in winter storage, but I think it was about 145000km(approx. 90000miles?) Still enjoying the automatic!

Catgroom, could you make some notes when mounting the Cruise Control?, I´m slowly collecting the whole set, auto here too

Regards,
Anton

Is this "the new hope"?
Looks really good!

Yes it is, should have wrote non UK, or rest of europe GT

Its lonely here inside this post! Just to make it less lonely :) a bit of same subject.. I´ve read that if your car smells cigarettes, and you would like to get rid of it, a bowl of vinegar in the car(a few days) could handle it. To go even more off topic, now where did you recommend to buy that l...
