Bosch Super Copper Core Plugs

Heavy-duty copper core center electrode delivers superior durability and reliability. Nickel chromium ground electrode means consistent performance and prolonged

service life. Nickel-plated rolled threads mean complete anti-seize and corrosion protection. Metal glass-fused center electrode seal prevents combustion leakage. Angular, five-ribbed insulator design prevents misfire due to current leakage.

Bosch Platinum Plugs

Only Bosch uses a pure platinum center electrode, heat-fused into an extended insulator which reaches self-cleaning temperature only seconds after starting.

Electrode gap remains virtually unchanged throughout the plug’s longer service life; no need to clean or re-gap. Heavy-duty tapered ground electrode means extended service life, reduced electrode temperature, and improved access to air/fuel mixture. Lower ignition voltage requirement vs. other plug designs delivers reliable cold weather starts and superior operation under all driving conditions.

Denso Iridium Spark Plugs

Denso Iridium plugs are serious power and performance for even the most serious of performance minded customers. Pure Iridium has a melting point of almost

700ºC higher than platinum and better withstands overheating, detonation, and oxidation wear. Denso Iridium plugs are combined with Rhodium for superior heat resistance and response. With high power and high heat turbo engines, you need all the help you can battling heat and detonation. Bring in a ringer with Denso Iridium plugs.

Stock Replacement Ignition Coil

Since 1999 Volvo has utilized a one ignition coil per cylinder ignition system. These coils have shown a rather high failure rate and tend to require replacement

almost as though they were a maintenance item! If you’re suffering from poor starting, hesitation when accelerating or even poor fuel economy, weak ignition coils could be the problem.
