On my 96 960 ive replaced 3 of the 6 ignition coils within a year, i replaced them with Volvo ignition coils. Ive heard that these ignition coils are junk. But i couldnt find any universal Bosch or something similar. Could there be another cause for this other than bad/junk ignition coils, or due to the age of the car is this normal???At $80 bucks a pop it could get expensive replacing them often. Anyone else have this problem?

 

It is normal due to engine heat. The coils are mounted in the middle of the motor by all the main motor heat.
