Spark plugs for a 1.4
I have some NGK ZGR5B spark plugs, will they be OK for my manual 1989/90 1.4GL ?
Many thanks. Last edited by 340man; Jul 3rd, 2013 at 15:15. |

The handbook that came with the car states that the Volvo part number for the plugs is 271409-5. I got the idea that NGK ZGR5B might be OK by looking at ebay sales. If I find other manufacturers equivalents, like Champion and Bosch, I will post them here, in case it is useful to someone else. |

From my Haynes Manual, it looks like Champion N9YCC and N9YC can be used, but it's not that clear, can someone else check theirs please?

Looks like Bosch WR7LC may also be an alternative. It's in this chart as an alternative to the NGK ZGR5B

Looks like Champion RN7LCC are another possible suitable plug.

Forget champion, they only make fishing weights. I've yet to find any Volvo that will run on all cylinders with champion plugs fitted!
