I tried WR7DC's in my old B200e 240 & had no issues with them, it ran fine. Next change I put BERU 4 electrode jobs in. It did not like them at all. Binned them and got OE ones via PFV and stuck with them until I sold it 2yrs ago.
I recently replaced the plugs on my 04' V70. They had done circa 30k miles and were on the car when I got it. It had a bad coil pack on cyl 3, I replaced that and decided to do the plugs too. I got OE ones from PFV (they supplied a BERU coil pack). £90 quid delivered to here in France. Pemzec Volvo in Redon wanted something like 170€. Eek! For OE plugs & coil pack. When I removed the old plugs I found them to be DENSO 4 electrode. FWIW the car ran perfectly on the DENSO ones , can't say I can feel any difference (smoothness or mpg wise) on the new Volvo plugs.

Volvo turbo engines were always very fussy with plugs , the volvo ones always worked faultlessly over the entire service life whilst other makes would soon start misfiring ..

^^^ my ph2 is not turbo, just a 170hp.
I haven't looked at the ones in my ph1 T5 yet, I've only had it two years Good to know tho' that the tubs are fussy. I'll get OE when I do them. Thanks.

I have Bosch in mine right now, very good.
Had NGK previously, also very good. They eventually got old. So ... not much help
