Re: B230et rebuild.

I just read through my post to make sure it was all correct and I thought... I'm sure that I've messed up something to do with the alternator leads and I was wrong. http://www.volvoforums.org.uk/picture.php?albumid=1170&pictureid=7604 These two wires go on the back of the alternator, the round one i...

Re: going to the dark side

Told you the 850 was too electrical for me ;) if yours has problems when your job is wiring just think how broken mine would be if I got one :lol:

Re: going to the dark side

Yeah I asked about a couple bits from that white 85 and never heard anything back.

If you post on here or send an email when you want it and I'll try get it for you.

Did the PNP switch get it going... You probably told me already but I can never remember.

Re: going to the dark side

I'll grab them and the crank sensors when I get the flywheel, when do you want it?

He still hasn't answered how much he wants for it :roll: so I will phone him.

He had sold the gauges before I got to it so If the speed signal is attached to the gauges it's gone.

Re: B230et rebuild.

If it's just surface rust then a honing should be fine but if there's rust pitting like the ring where the piston was sat then it would need machining and Oversizing then you would have to fit oversize pistons, I think Skandix sell them but they are pricey.

Re: B230et rebuild.

Your welcome :) Let me know what's shot and I'll see what I can find for you as I've got a spare B230ET whole engine (minus a few bits of loom) I completely took it apart and had the block sonic cleaned and honed, I was going to keep as spares. It's definitely worth getting the 13mm rods, I was look...

Re: B230et rebuild.

No worries Number47 :D Yep there's the ECU, then there's the black box (motronic power stage) in the engine bay http://www.volvoforums.org.uk/attachment.php?attachmentid=68171&d=1385920103 You can just see it at the top right of this picture, tucked down by the wing. Then there's another box which i...

Re: B230et rebuild.

Perhaps those two thick red wires with the spade connectors go to the coil?

Do you have the coil? The motronic system doesn't have an ignition module as the ignition runs off the coil.

Re: B230et rebuild.

Yep that round grey 2 pin plug is the water temp sender for the dash, the black connector you are correct is the water temp for the ecu and there should also be a single white pin connector for the water temp for the constant idle system (atleast that's what I was told). I had to double check but I ...

Re: B230et rebuild.

Just remembered the CIS is constant idle system, which is also the black box which is the motronic relay, it powers the whole ECU system and does constant idle also on the 760 it is the plug for the headlights etc.
