Title: 6 coil packs in less than two weeks
Post by: david_omega on 11 February 2010, 23:49:29

in under 2 weeks, i have had to order 6 coil packs, some from oil damage, mainly 4 right bank ones for the water problem. what a coinsidence tho, never done one before, then get 4 troubled motors in the same fortnight. oh well. part and parcell of age related issues i guess!

Something to do with the cold and snow perhaps ???  Cold causing the windscreen/scuttle seals to shrink and the snow/ rain getting through the gaps ??

Just a thought ???

I must update the cam cover maintenanc guide.....adding a run of the sealent along 2 bits of the plastic camcover should help this a lot

Yep, that's what Geoff & Pete told me they started to do at the factory after discovering the problem.

I am sure it is but.....there is a trick you can do when changing the cam covers to stop the water getting into the plug wells.  :y
