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.

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?

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.
