Would take it it's a coil gone down

Driving home tonight the car went all lumpy and the engine light went on. Runs likle a tractor and no real power.

Would take it it's a coil gone down :cry:

Will it do any real damage driving to work while waiting for parts?Only a 4.5 mile trip.

And does anyone have a part number as my local dealers not to bright!

If i have to take the plenium chamber off do you need a new gasket?

 

[steveukv6]

No, you can get away with putting the old 1 back in. Its a rubber gasket.

Cheer's guy's, cant believe that the main stealers don't stock the coils.

Do all the engine covers have to come off? Or just the removable ones?

 

[ColinG]

if its under the plenum...yes..all covers and surrounds will have to come off..

if its one of the front 3 (nearest the seats) then you can do it through the top 2 covers, really easy those ones

 

[V6 Ade]

3 front's are going to be done first, already got a slipped disc so not looking forward to doing this little job!

 

[V6 Ade]

Yippeeeee, all done. Changed the easy ones first and found a chaffed wire near the plug.

Sleeved cable and changed all three coils and back on all 6.
