Hi everybody.  omega 2.5 v6

I have been having problems with my cars performance for some time now and having given the car to a garage, the cause of this problem is a knackered coil pack.

Problem is one of the four nuts/bolts has broken when trying to remove the pack and so it is stuck in position.

Is it possable to relocate a coil pack to a better position, whilst still having all the ht leads reach. (and then leaving the old broken pack in its position.

Thanks

David

Not really....

[tidla]

anything is possible with time, money and inginuity..

if the coil pack is knackered anyway why not remove scuttle etc.

and use a mini air powered cut off tool to cut thru the acessable bolts/coil pack?

When I did my pack a year ago i'm sure someone posted a howto on this forum (i've seen it somewhere). I toyed with it but decided not to because it was too much effort and didn't look good (imo).

Try some google searches of this forum using the site: command.

Some people have moved it to an area around the engine.

Yes, you can relocate it.
Use a Cavalier/Calibra/Vectra V6 coil pack mount bracket, and plug leads, maybe extend the low tension wires (cut, extend, solder, re-wrap) plus the correct coil pack - there are three different, so really, you need to get yours off for it's part number.

There will be some on here saying that it's not worth it, but my 2.5 has had one coil pack replacement and now it needs doing again, and as I plan to keep the car (or truck as it's becoming!) then I shall get these bits and bobs and relocate it where I can actually get at the little blighter and keep it dry!

Someone here moved it and all they needed was longer plug leads, I suspect it was not worth the hassle though, unless you are keeping the car forever. They don't need actually bolting down, a couple of tie wraps would secure it to the old dispack for example.

I REALLY struggle to see the point

Its simple. The poor chap is having trouble removing his dispack and would like to leave the original where it is and fit the new one  somewhere he can actually see it and work on it easily.

considering DIS pack change is usually only done once in a cars life, there is really no point moving it. Scuttle off, and access is fine.

I think the point here is that he cant get it off, scuttle off or otherwise because one of the bolts is shagged.

I think we understand with having stripped threads on the dispack plate it could be a pain with the limited space back there. But like already said dispacks do usually last a hell of a long time
 . Has there been water leaking down there as i have not had one yet with dickie bolts?

For those who can't read, this is the actual question asked.

Exactly!
