New volvo leads are worthwhile after all this time but if you get new non volvo leads they may well be worse than what you already have.



you are right in what you say about the hall sensor.
I don't understand why people are so adamant that it has to be OEM. I mean, the cap and rotor are Bosch. Can't the leads be Bosch too? I've bought some bosch leads (black friday too, they cost like 20€+/-) recently to replace the the original ones with 500k km, that apparently were still working fine, and I'm happy with the quality.
