Shameless hawk - I have a bunch of used ones for sale in my parted out 1999 thread.

It appears the FCP Bosch is the OE unit for $47 compared to $78 for the Volvo copy. Significant.

So does that mean the Bosch one is an acceptable alternative for the price? or do i need to go over to Mr. abscate's home?

Bosch made the original ones. It just has to be the right kind.

Ive used Bosch 'alternatives' on both Volvo and BMW without any malice.

I've used Delphi coils with no mishaps from Amazon.

About half the cost for these but don't expect them NOT to be made in China at that price.

Thx, precopster. I have never been a big "Made in China" guy but in this case I may make an exception.

The Chinese can make quality stuff. It's just that they're not always told to..
