Chrispy_T Posted April 8, 2014 Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 I use NGK plugs. Never had misfires until rubber things broke down, Wires, hoses, etc. I tend to run from stealerships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I will give NGK's a try next time..I probably paid 200% markup or more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tightmopedman9 Posted April 8, 2014 Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 You should just buy the same parts from Tasca and then return them on that receipt, not exactly 'ethical', but you could save like $100. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fishey Posted April 10, 2014 Report Share Posted April 10, 2014 The correct plug is Fine Wire double platinum 0 242 235 749 (8692071 volvo kit) will outperform any standard copper plug by a long shot in terms of plug life and performance. end of story. Yea, that fine wire that just likes to glow hot and cause detonation is all sorts of better then copper plug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEU Posted April 10, 2014 Report Share Posted April 10, 2014 I recall Platinium plugs are good for cars with low output coils as it requries less voltage to jump larger gaps. I use Bosch Super Plus, Copper/Iridium plugs. I can run .28 gaps and they last about 60K with regapping. And the best part, they only cost $1.50 each!

lookforjoe Posted April 10, 2014 Report Share Posted April 10, 2014 Tasca Volvo. Don't bother with NGK unless you want to replace them three times for every Volvo set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
