Car Parts, bits For Sale & Wanted / WTD: 2-4-6 coil pack

« on: 30 December 2018, 13:46:14 »

So I need a coil pack to replace my cracked one!
Cos I'm soooo tight I'm thinking used but then sensible head says new because it's probably not worth getting a used one!?

Are there different brands? The one I'm replacing is Bosch but I have seen this one on ebay:

Thanks.

If it had been the driver's side the 135 would have been affected 

That said there's also foam underneath the scuttle trim... But water tends to run down the seam at the filler panel that form the inboard end of the pollen filter housing.

Right, thanks, good to know...

Thanks DG, I will get a new one then.
With regards to the bulkhead foam, if it's wet under the drivers side wiper arm hole, would that run across the foam onto the passenger side? It seems unlikely to me. I'm not certain where the water would have come from yet. The seal between the windscreen & the scuttle seems to fit really well, the foam above the passenger side is really dry when you push on it there is no moisture on your hand at all.

So, if there are small cracks on the hard plastic oblong shaped part which is attached to the rubber spark plug boot, I'm assuming the pack is a gonna?
(Iv'e taken a picture but am useless at getting them on here)

For the P1110, make sure you've plugged in the rear multiram, and that its connectors are clean.

Thanks.
I did really struggle to connect it before. I had somehow managed to bend one of the pins & it wasn't connected properly. I will take it off again & make sure the connectors are clean. I will also check out the windscreen.

OK thanks.
When I changed the plugs the spark plug holes were full of water on that side, so maybe that started the problem. I have since sealed the scuttle so hopefully it wont happen again.
I will have ago at checking the sparks on that side tomorrow in the daylight.

Water in no. 6 from leak in the scuttle will cause a misfire. It doesn't often get into 4 and 2, but oil does from a leaking cam cover gasket.

The water had got into 2,4 & 6 unfortunately. The car has been sat idle for quite a while outside & not undercover....hey ho!

Did I hear my name being taken in vain.  …………………………...
Unfortunately I don't have one. Had to buy a new one for my own car not long after I bought it. Iirc it cost about £90.
Mr Alnico - if its easier for you, drop one off to me at work and I will take it to JDX. I reckon that would save you about 40 miles on the return journey.

This one looks like good value then?......

Did you happen to notice the condition of the coil pack?

Can pretty much guarantee corrosion and minor cracking of the casing...

There was minor cracking yes....

V6 2.6 auto
So, I have replaced all the spark plugs. I have removed the plenum & as per the great guide supplied by Fuse 19, I have dismantled, cleaned using carb cleaner all the bits, throttle etc & it's all back.
No improvement in the miss fire, eml remains on & via pedal trick I have codes 0300, 0304, 0302 & 1110.
I have checked all the cables & pipes & as far as I can tell all seems good.
What would you advise I try next?
If I take the car to someone with a code reader will it provide more specific information?
Thanks.

Omega General Help / Re: Plenum - multiram electrical connector...

« on: 27 December 2018, 15:55:57 »

Yes to the last two questions. Plugging it in correctly(it only goes on way though) resets the EML

Thanks, very interesting. A couple of weeks ago I put new spark plugs in, once I had sucked out all the water in the sp holes on the passenger side. I really struggled to get the electrical plug back on & I wasn't entirely happy that I had done it right. I decided to have some more fun today, taking the plenum off, in part to check out the plug - somehow I had managed to bend one of the connector pins & so it wasn't on properly 
Things are going in the right direction

Omega General Help / Plenum - multiram electrical connector...

« on: 27 December 2018, 15:40:17 »

If the multiram electrical connector plug was not connected together properly, what would be the result? Would the eml stay on? Would it produce a fault code?
