Bosch do make the Volvo ones, yes.

But I do recall Clan was quite sure that the ones in a Volvo box were superior to simply buying a bosch one in a bosch box.

Point being now thinking that as with water pumps and other things as above, they might actually be identical at this point, if they weren't before.

The more I think about it I can't imagine Volvo are still comissioning them being made to a higher standard, to then be held in stock for a car that went out of production 32 years ago.
