As a rule and many other may agree but if it was me I would replace them all, as you never know one of the others may fail.

Definately recomended to replace them all :)

You'd be wise to replace them all, but if only one has failed you only need to replace the one.......

I'd be inclined to change them all. Autovaux are not too bad for leads (compared to dealer), or MTEK_Performance - a member here - does Magnecor for very reasonable money

if its a v6 it can be a little fiddly...

Naah, scuttle off and it is easy enough. 20 minutes or so. Just watch the routing of the leads at the back of the plenum and make sure you check all the vacuum pipes and connections before restarting the engine.

Were they new? if so where from?

Title: Re: ht leads question
Post by: cipher on 22 July 2006, 20:37:26

yes they were new.

They are not gen GM, but they are good quality. not thin stuff.

One other thing, there are two types for the V6, so they need the Vehicle Reg No

generally speaking, its the chassis thats needed.

however, can usually tell by age of the vehicle.
