Coil probs.

We replace loads at work, mostly scenic ones though. Renault coils are the worst ones ive come across for reliability, and its down to who makes them as they seemed to change suppliers from sagem. No other manufacturers have as many faulty ones as renault do, my engine has 1 coil pack that fits over the front bank of plugs, and 3 leads, and im going to replace it before i put the engine back in. Has everyone had replacement coils then at some point.
 
I had my third one go a couple of weeks back, ironically it was the one I first replaced!!

I've just got a couple of the Peugeot coils, so when the next one goes I'll see how they are.
 
Well maybe not the exact same thing im not 100% but they do the job apparently, got the part numbers of this forum so i hope they work :s
 
I've been running with a peugeot coil for over six months, no problems so far. It looked identical to the duff one and yes, they're half the cost. :D
 
can you measure the resistance of the coil some time.

Although they may look the same the design can be completely different.
 
wouldnt no were to start mate, buy your self a spare from a pug dealer only £25ish and test it, part #597094
 
We've just bought a Renault Avantime to match the V6 ( Iliad Blue ) and researching the coil probs on the Avantime forums they have been told its the build up of heat that causes the failures. We carry a spare Pug coil pack, looks like I need to buy some more, albeit we've gone for 2.0Turbo Avantime not V6. If get a chance will measure resistance but in middle of house move at mo.
 
All I would like to see is to compare the resistance of the Renault Coil to the Pug coil.

If they are near enough the same good chance coils are identical.
