Just reset mine after filling up the 480, and both have now decided to stop working!
Not sure *if* they were working before I hit the tripmeter reset. Suggestions (serious ones please!) welcome. Thanks Chris |

Is your speedo working?
What about ALL the info on the computer, mpg etc?

Sorry - only gave half the info.
Speedo is fine, as is rev counter, all lights, and the info centre. Just the Mileometer/Trip Meter Kind regards Chris |

Hi.
If everything else is working, then my best guess would be the stepper motor behind the speedo face, or a broken/jammed cog in the workings. Steve ![]()

Hi Chris, Steve, guys. This is my first post in the Volvo community as only starting yesterday I joined it as an actual owner. After more than 15 years of loving Volvos, here I am with a brand 'new' 480 Turbo parked in front of the house.
Going to the point of this topic, I bought it with a similar problem: the speed, the odo and the trip meter are not working. As per the previous owner, it happened recently. Mpg and the other consumption related function are not showing any data. Range, exterior temperature, oil and engine temperature are properly displayed. Any ideas of what can be behind this? I assume a loose connection or something. Also, any ideas of a good electrician around London? Passenger window is dead and some of the speakers are not working. Same for the heated seats. Other than this, all good, managed a Penzance - London trip yesterday without any issues. Cheers, Cosmin. |

Hi Cosmin.
If your info centre is working, but not showing MPG related info, then it'll either be a loose connection behind the clocks. Or, if your speedo isn't working either, it'll prob be the speed sensor on the gearbox. This is of course presuming that your info centre works at all, engine temp etc. And isn't completely useless! ![]() Steve ![]()

An identical problem that I have with my 1994 model which I have had from new (just short of 60,000). I've been searching the 'net for a week trying to find a source of repair/replacement but no luck so far. Kind Regards Neil
