That's an ebay listing for 4 of the wee beasties. You could also look at BCPR6E(S) for the copper-cored version. Check the price on ECP as it may be still cheaper to buy 4 on fleabay for £7.69 (about £1.83 each) even after the current "discount" on ECP


*** EDIT ***

Just remembered yours is a 2.0 :

Still comes out as BPR6E though!

Surprisingly failed the MOT today on emissions, ...
Last year emissions failed, whipped out the air filter, retested : Pass
No way to explain it, but worth a try.
This year passed with air filter in.

Definitely seal that exhaust blow, such things played havok with my emissions in previous years!

What do the MOT garage guys say about a new CAT maybe?

Cat has been replaced a couple of years ago so should be ok.

Have been using NGK - BPR6E for many a year on my B200F as the equivalent to Bosch Volvo suggested WR6DC.

None of this new fangled multi-point stuff for me for which I ask why? They just cost more!! Just a straight good plug from a respected manufacturer! That's what Volvo suggest in the oem Bosch plug.

Amusingly (or otherwise), I looked at my Owner's Manual and for the 1990 year out of 10 engine types B230/200 turbo/non-turbo etc, Volvo cited the Bosch WR6DC.

Another question......

On checking the air filter I noticed pieces of sponge in the bottom held in with a tray which look to be OE....... rip them out and bin them or wash and replace ???
