First there was code 0300, then code 0305 (oil in plug 5 needing new gasket set.) Now we have 0306

I have just spent 2 hours trying to lift the coil pack from 2,4,6 cylinder bank. My blood is everywhere.

I think the coil pack is Donald ducked. Any idea how much for a new one? Can I use a pattern part or second hand part?

Any ideas please.

A bit to coincidental for my liking TBH.

Two totaly unrelated faults occuring at the same time!

Were both cam cover seal sets replaced at the same time or not and were the breathers cleaned?

I have no idea Mark......The gaskets may well be original.....I have just paid £38 for a genuine VX gasket set for cylinders 1,3,5,after finding oil in plug 5.  The  coil pack from 2,4,6...looks like it's been on the way out for some considerable time.....perhaps this cold snap has finally finished it off. :-? :-?

The 246 bank looks like water damage. Once you have finished doing the cam covers and you've replaced the skuttle run a bead of the black sealant around each wiper spindle and down the seam where the 2 halves of the skuttle come together

What about these....

Thanks Welung....

This may well be a stupid question.....but are they £69 each or the pair?.......are they new ...or are they reconditioned?....They make reference to "having been tested"....

[RobG]

£69 the pair. Not new, not recon. Taken from a breaker (note the user name)

[Welung666]

Read the about us section near the bottom of the ad, states they are tested, if in doubt, call them

£69 the pair. Not new, not recon. Taken from a breaker (note the user name)

You can buy a brand new(single) Bosch coil pack for £65......so the breakers want more than 50% of the cost of a brand new one.....for a coil pack that is at least seven years old.....and probably just about to fail....Crazy...

Have a search on eGay, there is a pair of new ones listed for £125

What you saying Brikhead, someone buying from you then selling on at a profit on theBay ?

How much water and condensation was in no 6 plug well?

I have to be honest, that coil pack looks worse than it is, no swelling of the iron evident and no major cracks around the casing.
