I'm allready on my way to buy new plugs. Thanks for all your help

It is very unusual for more than one plug to fail at the same time. As they all look like they haven't been receiving a spark or firing , I would guess that the problem lies elsewhere, such as the coil pack as has been previously suggested. As you have already removed them, new plugs are the first thing to fit and go on from there to then see how it runs before checking the leads and coil pack.

Yep....dis pack failed.
My swear jar is full and I believe I deserve a big cup of coffee after pulling this one out

All your pictures, and the problems that you're chasing, seem to be of old parts. As you need new plugs, and coil pack, the only other thing ignition part left is the plug leads. Now would be the time to change those too......


Do the whole job once, and forget about it.

I'm considering that option yes....as I wanted to drive it trough this winter. This problem just cought me by surprise because I'm already working on my next Miggy....It's a sort of addiction

There are three possible coil pack designs. The coil pack you need is Bosch part number 0221503017 (GM part #90541062 / Opel Kat 12-08-075). This coil pack matches yours which has the harness plug at the end of the unit in the same orientation as the plug lead pillars. The harness connector has oval ends. This is the most recent design.

You should find the Bosch number and logo embossed onto your old coil pack. And any new replacement.

You can try a GM / Opel dealer and see will they special order a part from Germany, but it will cost more than the car and will still be the same Bosch part. Just make sure that whatever you buy is a genuine Bosch from a Bosch dealer.

I have 2 coil packs in my garage, they've been there for 5 years 'just in case"...But they have different harness plug so off to the ebay we go. Thanks

Update:
Got the coil pack today after work, installed it + new spark plugs. All done very fast surprisingly.

It purrs like a kitten again, thanks for all your help
