Volvo ignition systems have always been very high energy output so demand the very best parts available to work reliably in -30C wet environments in Sweden 👍

Thankfully, i'm not in -30c hell, but in temperate iberia.
Anyways, I wasn't saying you are not right. I was being honest when I said I didn't understand why only OEM was acceptable.
Truth is I didn't have the cash to buy OEM. I bought a set on autodoc crap last year. One lead fell apart 6 months later when removing it on the plug side. So I put the old OEM ones in. And now replaced those with Bosch. I have to say those Bosch are definitely better than the white labled ones. But I'm still keeping the original ones with 500k+ km, just in case Bosch craps out.
