Title: Wanted: Coil packs for facelift 2.6 V6
Post by: mattbearman on 30 May 2023, 09:12:58
I’m after both coil packs for my 2001 2.6 V6, although I think the coil packs for the 3.2 were the same? I desperately need the 2-4-6 coil pack, I can probably get away with reusing my 1-3-5 pack if no one has one of those available

I'd stick with a genuine Bosch unit as the original fitment. This isn't a bad price these days.....

Waste of money.

That's to say they age from heat cycles which causes the plastic to get brittle, then when, not if, water gets into the plug wells, they corrode, swell and split causing misfires.

So unless they are absolutely mint with zero signs of cracking/corrosion underneath, they won't last.

Quite possibly, but the best price I could find for a pair of new bosch ones was £150, so I’m willing to take that chance. The ones I bought look great in the pictures at least, no signs of cracking or corrosion (unlike the ones I pulled from my car)

That's about how much they have been since I got my first Omega in 2005 ;)
