Genuine Volve, nothing else comes close in quality, longevity, fitment

Hi,
Plugs - Volvo, especially for the turbo engines. Cap + arm - Bosch Fuel F - Volvo or Bosch Air F - Volvo/ Mann Leads - Tricky one. I initially bought the 'new' Bougicords but either the quality has been diluted by their changeover or the Volvo versions were just a different spec. I ended up putting on Magnecore reds. These seemed fine. If you have old Bougis and they seem ok, stick with them as long as you can. Just my personal opinion and experience but I'm sure others will add more options. If you move the thread to the 850/V70 section you'll get a lot more replies. Also, you'll be surprised how good a deal you'll get on all genuine parts from FRF Volvo with the club discount. Best regards, Rich. Last edited by richmac; Mar 3rd, 2024 at 10:27. |

Plugs - Volvo, NGK or Denso. Not Bosch and never Champion
Cap + arm - Bosch Fuel F - not had issues even with some cheaper brands Air F - Volvo, Bosch, Mann or go with a K&N panel filter Leads - have become hard to find. Lots of sets offered do not fit! Volvo are NLA (or at least last year when I tried to order a set) Bougicord made them originally. If you can get Magnacores that fit they would be a good bet Oil filter Volvo/Mann |

A chap at work has an older go-faster Focus which has the Volvo engine in it, it's heavily modified and he would say most of the Ford tuners that work on that engine fit Volvo spark plugs...
