Coil has gone........ *ADVICE*

[Little Newms]

Right...

Very lumpy idle. It goes bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum

So like Andy said sounds like one of the coils has given up.

How far can i drive on it to get to a dealer?? Will it harm the engine at all?

 

[ant]

Won't harm it. just get it there. Might be worth getting trophy coils.

 

[John V6]

No problem at all.

You may need a new plug at the same time.

 

[wideboy]

I wouldnt drive to far with it because it can damage you cats with unburnt fuel going through.
I drove 5 miles to the garage with a cylinder down.

i fitted renault coils and a new set of spark plugs 20k miles ago and they seem to be fine now.....(touch wood)

 

[Little Newms]

All done, £34.95 + VAT and 30 mins later a mate from Toomey Renault sorted it.... back to the norm for me.........

Jeez what kind of mechanics are they?

Its only a 10mm bolt pull one out push the new one in.

Can do it without to much trouble, even with the engine surrounds in place.

:lol:

In Renault dealers only more senior RTEs are allowed to work on Vees I believe. However, the above sounds more like a excuse to ream you even more on what is actually an easy job!
