480 Window motor repairs.
After many years involved with volvo cars i found a way to repair 95% of 480 electric window motors.
This is a gauranteed repair and return service. IF the part is repairable i will give 12 months warranty on the repair and will return deliver within 4 days of receipt of your motor to repair. The cost of repair and return is £45.00 Please e-mail me for post address on sakeje@tiscali.co.uk Regards. Keith Please Note. 440/460 elec window motors cannot be repaired in this way. |

Hi cecilia
My son drove his turbo into what he thought was a shallow puddle !!! turned out to be 2 foot deep ripped off the rear bumper and flooded the engine !!!! The tried starting it the next day and it kept cutting out unless I used the accelerator plus there was coluds of "smoke" from the exhaust I really feared the worst but after a few days the moisture dried out and the smoke decreased , didnt even do a compression test the started and I ran her gently for little distances after a week the car was back to normal. By all means dry the distributor cap the alternator should dry itself ( a gentle blow with a hair dryer on low heat might help but a warm room is far better). Easy to test for spark suggest you register on the 480 club europe site as thats the dedicated site for 480 s for goodness sake dont scrap her !!!! your mechanic is likely to be too pessimistic apologies for typos.....
