Hello. I see there are many posts about plugs and wires, but with technology always changing I thought I would update this question.
What are the best plugs and wires for my 2002 Volvo XC70?

I know using the standard Volvo Plugs (Champion RC8PYP-8 - 0.028"-0.032" gap (0.71mm) - torque 25nm) are the recommended choose, but what about the E3 plugs?
What is the part# for the wires, and do they need to be replaced as often as the plugs?

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers!
Stephen

 

I use Volvo plugs. There are no wires. It's coil on plug.

 

Gotcha. Should I leave the coils alone?
Any thoughts on E3 Plugs?

 

While coils do go bad and cause a misfire, at about $105 each (less for aftermarket, which I wouldn't recommend), I'd leave them alone until you have a problem.

Never used the E3 plugs.

 

I'd get one from auto salvage just to have ready.
They fail with out warning and then you're dumping unburned fuel into the cat.
My 99 v70xc went through 2 of them in 7 months, but then again they were the originals that had over 200K on them.
Thought I had gone through a 3rd, but something else happened rendering the compression to just 10lbs in cyl #2.
Sniff-sniff.
I now have a 2002 V70XC.
