How many miles should a plug inspection change take place, on a standard car? Thanks.

Haynes says 30k for a 850, prob same for V70. I'm sure my Volvo specialist does them at 20k though.

for 850, c/s/v70 petrol: 30k to model year 98, 40k for 99 model year.

:hilarious [QUOTE=dave]your volvo specialist sure likes to make more money![/QUOTE] I check/clean mine every 6 months and replace them if they look worn or abused. £8.50 from ECP :)

Check vs change! Change is 30k AFAIK. Check, every time you service?

'£8.50 from ECP' exactly. i change every 10k or 12 months anyway. a good thing to give them and the all the leads a spray with wd40 every so often too.

Mine went off at about 20k. Car was spluttering during high speeds. A change of plugs (Volvo Turbo Originals) solved all that. Will be going for DENSO Iridium Tough or Racing next.

I've got a set of Volvo Turbo plugs - are they worth the money ? I'm currently using NGK Iridium, but they will be coming out at 100k and the Volvo Plugs will be going back in. Chris
