Volvo V40 2012-15 V60 2011-15 D2 1.6 Turbo Solenoid Valve 9688124580
Volvo V40 2012-15 V60 2011-15 D2 1.6 Turbo Solenoid Valve 9688124580
Volvo Turbo Boost / Vacuum Control Solenoid Valve - Part 9688124580 - Bitron - 2013 Donor Marking
The exact number 9688124580 is physically moulded into the item shown below. The original donor listing identifies Volvo and 2013, but does not provide a readable VIN, donor model or engine code. For that reason we do not guess a model from the year alone. Match the number on your old valve, connector, vacuum-port layout and mounting points. If any detail differs, send your VIN through eBay Messages before purchase.

What This Part Is
This is an electro-pneumatic vacuum / pressure control solenoid. Depending on the vehicle calibration and installation, this type of valve meters vacuum/control pressure to a pneumatic actuator used by turbocharger or EGR control systems.
It is not simply an "air sensor". The valve contains an electrically controlled solenoid and pneumatic passages that regulate control pressure.
Housing marking: PA6-GF30, indicating a glass-fibre-reinforced polyamide housing. Supplier marking visible on the item: Bitron.
Where It Is Fitted / What It Controls
Normally fitted in the engine bay vacuum-control circuit on a bracket or mounting point, with an electrical plug and vacuum hoses attached. The exact bracket position varies by model, engine installation and VIN.
This schematic explains system function only. It is deliberately not shown as a model-specific mounting photograph because the donor VIN/model is not present in the source listing.

Known number references
9688124580 is the number physically present on this item. Catalogue cross-reference 1618.KG / 1618KG is associated with this pressure-converter family on selected PSA applications. Because vehicle-level interchange varies, do not order a cross-make application from a cross-reference alone.
Vehicles / Situations This Listing Must NOT Be Assumed To Fit
- Not every 2013 Volvo.
- Not every diesel Volvo, and not every D2/D3/D4/D5 engine.
- Not petrol models unless the exact VIN/part catalogue specifically confirms the same valve.
- Not a vehicle whose old component carries a different moulded number, even if the valve looks similar.
- Not a vehicle with different connector keying, vacuum-port layout, mounting bracket or hose orientation.
- Do not use Ford product number 1936883 as proof of interchange for this valve; that number is used by Ford for a brake vacuum pump hose product.
Possible Fault Symptoms
A failed or sticking electro-pneumatic control valve can contribute to:
- Reduced engine power or poor acceleration
- Turbo lag / weak low-speed torque
- Limp or emergency operating mode
- Black smoke or jerky running in some applications
- Boost-control or EGR-related diagnostic trouble codes
- Actuator movement that does not follow commanded boost/EGR operation
These symptoms do not prove the valve is faulty. Vacuum leaks, damaged hoses, wiring/connectors, vacuum pump faults, actuator faults, turbocharger/EGR faults and sensor faults can produce similar symptoms.
Why Correct Factory-Spec Fitment Matters
Vacuum-control valves are calibrated components. Correct electrical characteristics, hose-port geometry, connector keying, mounting and pressure-control behaviour matter. A cheap visually similar copy or an incorrectly cross-referenced valve may physically connect yet control the system differently.
Buying a correct used factory-spec component can offer excellent value while retaining the original fitment geometry. Used parts can save up to 70% against comparable new pricing on selected parts; the actual saving varies by part and market price.
Fitting Guide - General Procedure
- Before removal, confirm the old component number is 9688124580 and compare the connector, ports and mounting shape.
- Switch the ignition off and allow the engine bay to cool. Follow the vehicle workshop procedure for battery isolation where required.
- Photograph and label every vacuum hose before disconnecting it. Incorrect hose routing can create a new fault.
- Disconnect the electrical plug and inspect the terminals for corrosion, heat damage or loose pin tension.
- Release the vacuum hoses carefully. Aged hoses can split; do not lever aggressively against plastic nipples.
- Remove the mounting fastener/bracket. Fastener type varies by vehicle.
- Install the replacement in the same orientation. Transfer hoses one at a time and ensure each connection is fully seated.
- Reconnect the electrical plug. Inspect surrounding vacuum lines for cracks, chafing or loose joints.
- Read and clear relevant diagnostic faults using suitable equipment, then perform an actuator/boost/EGR function check where supported.
- Run the engine, check for vacuum leaks and complete a controlled road test while monitoring requested vs actual values where appropriate.
Suggested tools
Basic socket set; Torx bits as required by the specific vehicle; long-nose pliers; small hose pick; trim tool; inspection light; diagnostic scan tool. A hand vacuum pump / pressure gauge and multimeter are useful for diagnosis.
Estimated replacement time: approximately 0.3-0.8 hour where access is straightforward. Allow roughly 0.5-1.0 hour when basic diagnosis and post-fit verification are included. This is a practical estimate, not a manufacturer flat-rate time.
