Engine: T5: - VOLVO C30 T5 : Best spark plugs to use?

Saracen7 · Feb 16th, 2020, 18:24

Hi everyone, I own a, 2007 C30 t5, and would appreciate advice on the best spark plugs to use please?
I'm not too fussed about cost, and please bear in mind, I may get the engine remapped, though I won't be doing any other performance enhancing.
Thanks.

probably a good idea to go for some bosch plugs, this is what I run and my T5 is heavily modded. Having a remap wont matter for the plugs, just stay oem.

Its been posted on here many times that the Volvo plugs are the best, mine runs perfect on them (no mods).

I think the Volvo ones are Iridium but happy to be corrected on that.

Its been proven many times that Volvo plugs are no better than any OE equivalent plug from a reputable manufacturer (see Bosch - who are currently OEM - or NGK or Denso).

The Volvo ones are platinum and the current 'genuine' plugs are Bosch FR7DPPs.

Cant recommend plugs without knowing what the mods will be as that will affect heat range and can even affect gap. Speak to the people mapping it and they'll be able to give you the most robust answer.
