Volvo V70, 2012, Porvoo

Additional information

This is a rarer 12-year-old E85 V70, also able to drive! The car is otherwise mechanically sound, but there is a fault in the gearbox! Because of this, it is for repair/spares! It may possibly be made to work by replacing a solenoid or wiring harness.

Here is a message from the previous owner after having the car inspected at a workshop:

"The gearbox sometimes goes into fault mode, when the engine revs at around 3k rpm, then when the car changes gear it jerks hard.
I looked into it a bit myself at one company and with a Bosch tester I got fault code 'P096800 pressure control solenoid valve C open circuit/no signal', and when they checked the gearbox pressures with the tester the first clutch pressure was constantly 0 bar. and only gears 2, 4 and 6 work. and reverse does not work.
They guessed the problem would be a solenoid in the gearbox, or the wiring harness might be broken."


Otherwise the car is in neat condition for its age! New summer tyres also on the car, and the gearbox oil was changed in 10/2025!

NOTE: Unlike in the photos, the car does not have an extra front light on the nose.
