Hi all
I want to change my plugs and I am wondering which are th e best to use.
Is it best to stay with volvo s own or an alternative?
I ve got a 'juddering ' senasation on tick over and when at a constant rpm on the motorway or dual track its almost like a slight misfire. Im hoping changing the plugs may resolve this?

usually does especially when plugs have been used on uprated boost

theres always different views on what plugs etc........ original volvo ones dont really suit my set up. im using ngk for a sierra cosworth and dont have any trouble with them. but like i say there will be mixed views
*edit
i could whip one out and get a part number for you? try a set and see how you get on with them? mind you nearly £9 per plug

I have Bosch i think LOL ( cracking up ) if not NGK ....worst thing is i only change em 2 weeks ago....but i find when mine idles it seems to rumble a bit but soon as you rev it purrs, not sure if this is just what the R s are like, where as my T5 Me7 purrs on tick over and all the time... all i know is changing the plugs has nt change mine at all...Think it had NGK in and now i have changed them for Bosch Platinum but only got car back tonight so will give it a good try tomorrow
