Elevate Performance Ignition Coils for Volvo S40
SKU: 305:20002
If you’re looking for maximum performance and mileage from your Volvo, look no further than the ELEVATE Volvo Performance Ignition Coils for many five cylinder Volvo engines. A direct replacement for Volvo #30713417 / #8677837, this ignition coil produces optimal spark energy to maximize performance, meaning your Volvo will be running at its best. Don’t let your aging, weak ignition coils hold you back from enjoying your vehicle to the fullest. With our high-quality construction and attention to detail, you can be sure your engine will be LITERALLY firing on all cylinders! Increased spark energy and longer spark dwell allow for more complete combustion.
Elevate has evaluated many “performance” ignition coils from several sources over the decades. Most are no better than factory coils, and some actually do deliver more spark, but to the detriment of greatly (and needlessly) increasing combustion chamber temperatures. Our ignition coil design strikes the right balance of increased performance without introducing unnecessary and unproductive heat. We believe in our tested and proven design so much that we offer a one year, unlimited mileage warranty. This is unheard of for an ignition component, which is considered a “wearing” part.
Many times we’ve had customers install our Performance Software and come back with, “I’m now getting a misfire code.” The reason for this is that weak, aging ignition coils are able to (just barely!) light off the air/fuel mixture in the combustion chamber with stock/factory boost. As our Performance Software increases boost pressure for added performance, and subsequently increases combustion chamber pressure, it takes a stronger spark to light off the mixture, and failing coils simply aren’t up to the task and can misfire. If your ignition coils have more than 30,000 miles on them, they are candidates for replacement. Naturally, this is also a good time to replace the spark plugs (we recommend factory spark plugs ONLY) as they are likely aging also. Too large of a gap on your spark plugs (from incorrect gapping upon installation or worn electrodes) will cause your ignition coils to work harder and fail sooner without a performance advantage, so make sure you run factory recommended gaps. A failed ignition coil in your Volvo can lead to anything from an intermittent misfire to a car that won’t start.
Our ignition coils are absolutely plug and play. Once the plastic engine covers are removed, installation takes literally minutes. Simply unplug the electrical connector, remove the coil retaining/grounding bolt (8mm head), pull the old coil out, push the Elevate coil into place, reinstall the bolt and plug back in the electrical connector. Done.
Sold as individual units. It is best to replace all five ignition coils at the same time for optimal performance. These ignition coils have applications for many turbo and naturally aspirated Volvo five and six cylinder engines used from 1999 to 2016. Check your application to make sure your Volvo is currently equipped with coil part number #30713417 or #8677837.

Elevate Performance ignition coils are built for Volvo drivers who want reliable spark strength, especially as engines age or performance demands increase. Unlike factory coils that are tuned strictly for stock conditions, Elevate coils provide added ignition headroom to help maintain smooth, consistent combustion.
We like Elevate’s balanced approach. These coils increase spark output without introducing unnecessary heat, making them a solid choice for daily-driven Volvos, higher-mileage cars, or vehicles running performance software. They install easily, require no tuning, and are backed by a one-year, unlimited-mileage warranty for added peace of mind.
What does an ignition coil pack do?
An ignition coil pack converts the battery’s low voltage into the high voltage needed to spark the spark plugs and ignite the air-fuel mixture in your engine.
What are common signs of a failing coil pack on a Volvo S40?
Common symptoms include rough idling, engine misfires, hesitation during acceleration, reduced fuel economy, and a flashing or steady check engine light.
Can I drive my Volvo with a bad coil pack?
Short drives may be possible, but continued driving can damage spark plugs, catalytic converters, and other engine components, leading to more expensive repairs.
How long do Volvo coil packs typically last?
Most coil packs last between 60,000 and 100,000 miles, though heat, driving conditions, and engine modifications can shorten their lifespan.
Should I replace one coil pack or all of them?
If one coil has failed, the others may not be far behind, especially if they are original. Many owners choose to replace all coil packs at once for reliability.
Are ignition coil packs different between Volvo engines?
Yes. Coil packs can vary depending on engine type and model year. Always verify fitment based on your specific Volvo engine before purchasing.
Will aftermarket coil packs work on my Volvo?
Quality aftermarket coil packs can perform just as well, if not better than OEM units when properly designed for Volvo applications. Fitment and build quality matter most.
Do I need to replace spark plugs when changing coil packs?
It’s strongly recommended. Worn spark plugs can stress new coil packs and reduce their lifespan.
Is installing coil packs on a Volvo difficult?
Installation is typically straightforward and can often be completed with basic hand tools, making it a common DIY job.
Will new coil packs improve performance?
If your existing coils are weak or failing, new coil packs can restore smooth acceleration, proper combustion, and overall engine performance. Performance coil packs can improve performance especially if you have a tune.

Joel Smith –
I have used the Elevate coils on my S40, as well as my XC60. Plug and play. Great value considering the Volvo factory are more expensive and not performance oriented.
