1) How to test a coil pack?

2) Can a faulty alternator kill one?

3) Where can I get one from at an affordable price?

Thanks

Have a 2/4/6 coilpack you can borrow to prove the point if it helps.

Not sure how I would get it to you though? Drop it off at your work fri PM maybe?

That would be brilliant if possible

I'll PM my work address

I'll bring 1/3/5 as well.

The coils have some rust on them but they do both work.

All is well mechanically

Getting 0300 0302 0304 0306

What wires do I need to check continuity on from coil pack to ECU?

Thanks

Pin 1 (Brown) to 0V
Pin 2 (Black/red) to 12V IGN (meter continuity to Pin2 on other coilpack as is common feed and other coilpack is OK).
Pin 3 (Blue/red) to ECU Pin14 (X85)
Pin 4 (Blue/white) to ECU Pin15 (X85)
Pin 5 (Blue/green) to ECU Pin16 (X85)

NB. Don't know if you've seen the M3.1.1 ECU connectors but they are a high density design.

Had a bit of difficulty finding the RPM wire - have been in there before.

Thanks - will check tomorrow, light is just starting to go

No change

And completely out of ideas
