Spark plugs? S40-V40

Hello!

I should change plugs for my -99 T4...
what kind of plugs do you recommend?
Here in Scandinavia they recommends NGK twin tip plugs.
I´ve also heard good word about BRISK.
Maybe i just take my ride to Volvo service and let them figure it out.

Thanks!

    NGK makes my favorite plugs. IMHO, you can't get better. The only plugs I've ever had actually fail are Bosch. Never heard of BRISK here in the USA.

      Thanks!

      I guess i´ll go for NGK plugs then.
      They´ll cost a lot more than Bosch...so they have to be good ones!
      And i don´t like Bosch products!!
      (NGK +100$/4 and Bosch 40$/4)

      If i change them by my self, how tight they should be?

        I don't have the exact torque setting handy, but I believe its around 18 ft/lbs (don't know the conversion). I'll check.

          What kind of styling is hot in USA for Volvo?
          Have you modified your Volvo...bodykits?
          I have one, it´s smooth...no big wings!

          Thank you once again for the torque settings!
