anyone know were the speedo pulse wire is on gearbox

problem i have is speedo is not always working think its the usual abs problem works most of time but stops all of a sudden switch ignition off and back on its works again for a while

not normaly a problem except its a taxi so meter conected to pulse wire at back of radio when speedo stops this stops so meter stops not good im losing money

phoned local volvo in dublin about getting them to read codes they quoted


wait for it

2 hours labour

at 95 euro + vat per hour

just to read codes

THEY CAN STICK THAT WERE THE SUN DONT SHINE

so for time being i want to see if i can put meter direct onto pulse wire at gear box till i work out what im gonna do about speedo and abs

car is a 1996 850 t5 autobox

cheers


dublin

oh nearly bought another volvo tonight looked at a 1999 volvo s 80 2.4t
170000miles could have got it for 1800euros (any others i a found here are between 3500-4500) only reason i didnt was mileage need something a little less dont want to be buying another money pit would the s80 2.4t be faster or slower then my 850 t5

ABS works from a ring on the wheels afaik.

Reading the codes takes a few minutes and not 2 hours. Call them back.
