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.
your volvo specialist sure likes to make more money!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 ECPOriginally Posted by dave

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.
not for me tho, i brought my one at just over a year old, at that point the car had lost £14,000!, bargin for me!Originally Posted by Redbrick
at the end of the day, its only money!

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.
