While replacing the ETM on my 2000 V70 I noticed the starter cable was looking corroded and overheated near the battery terminal end. Reading a few posts on this board convinced me that both the starter and B+ cable often get replaced at this vintage so I ordered both cables.

The B+ cable turned out to be an exact match. However the starter cable which is (the commonly sold OEM style) looks to be thinner than the original factory cable. Since the factory cable already failed, I wondered if this thinner gauge cable will even last as long as the original one.

It could be that these newer OEM cables even though they is thinner are somehow improved over the original cable design and are therefor more reliable or are they just something made off shore and of questionable quality and I should seek a genuine Volvo cable if they are still available?
