Can anyone tell me what the gap is for sparkplugs in a 2002 V70 XC? Thanks.

      I stand corrected. Since the OEM plugs come gapped at 0.04" I assumed that this was the correct gap. However, upon searching the XC70 forum and the owner's manual I found that the previous post is correct. So, always check the gaps on your plugs and change them when necessary, and don't trust what you pick up, even if it's from the dealer. When in doubt about any of the correct settings/intervals, etc. on your car, consult your owner's manual. That is the best peace of mind place to look: http://new.volvocars.com/ownersdocs/2002/2002_XC/02xc_09.htm#pg143
