# 3888324 Ignition Cable Kit | Genuine Volvo Penta Part

## 🔧 Product Description

Ignition cable kit weighing 0.286 kg and listed for 29 applications, listed as the plug wire set for the 3.0GLP-C, D, E and J and for the 3.0GXi-J and GXiC-J. These are four-cylinder engines, so the set is correspondingly short. It replaces part number 3851815, catalogued earlier as a lead, so what used to be supplied singly now comes as a complete set.

## 🛠️ Service Notes

-   The 4.3, 5.0, 5.7 and V6 and V8 engines all take longer and heavier sets, so count the leads on the engine before ordering
-   Fit one lead at a time to keep the firing order, and renew the plugs and check the distributor cap and coil tower at the same time
-   Always refer to the operator's manual for the recommended maintenance and service intervals for your engine and drive
-   Listed against more than one engine or drive family - check the qualifier that applies to your own engine or drive
