Default Volvo 440 Turbo !!!

Mate of mine (honest) has a Volvo 440 Turbo. Not too bad really, for a TurboBrick!

Anyway, the fuel computer on teh dash is completely blank, no lights whatsoever. I've checked the obvious.

Any ideas?

Instruments on the 400 series cars are ****e; my Turbo Diesel (the Flying Girder) suffers from a casual fuel gauge and an intermittent tachometer, I wouldnt bother.

Agree with GC8

Sod the fuel computer, whack a bleed valve on the wastegate actuator line and turn the sucker up
