Morning Sifus,
What's the life span of a standard Volvo spark plugs ?

[kenari1]

which model volvo? turbo or non turbo?

the turbo engines are recommended by volvo to change every 20K but being
malaysian 40K also no problem.

BTW turbo plugs go for RM120++ per set for the 850T5, now you can see the
reason for 40K "extended" mileage....and the plugs are not even platinum
tipped, just plain old copper.

It's 740GLE, sir.

OK I am back...I use Bosch platinium..easy starting and better
accelaration. I think it can last more than 20K..formally I use only
standard Bosch copper core. Hv you intend to do any upgrading to your
740 ?? it worth the effort. I just did top overhaul, port and polish, add
in sport muffler, direct flow filter...wah much much fun to drive and yet
not heavy on fuel..interested ???

I am driving 96/97 850GLE with NGK Iriway 7 So far 20K done
no miss fire yet.
Irinium can last for 100K ???. Fiel comp will be better
currently getting 600KM/55little with 17" Sport rim

Hello Bro SA6,
How have you been, haven't heard from you for quite sometime ? My engine
is still in good condition, no overhaul needed yet. But, your mods knid of
interests me. Hee, hee.
Mind telling me more about about the products you used on mods ?

[SA6]

Ahem...ahem...ok is my time to show off sikit...let me tyr to take a few
photo of the upgraded area and post it to you ok...one thing I still not
satisfy with my NA 740GLE..the top speed is about 160km/hr only !!!! I
remembered another Volvo kaki told me that his NA 940GL also tops at
160km/hr...could be this is the top they could go...what about yours....

[cap48]

I think that's about the top speed you can go on the 240/740/940 NA
models. The turbo models are something else.

[kenari1]

anyone used splitfire or something of the like on the 850T5 before?

I know the N/A 850 can use a variety of standard plugs eg copper to
irridiums but i have heard that the T5s have lots of problems with anything
else other than copper.
