robbeaumont Posted August 1, 2009 Report Posted August 1, 2009 hi all, i've got a 1996 2.8 v6 gal and my number 2 plug isn't firing, i changed the lead and its still not firing is there a way to fix this coil pack problem or am i lookin at buying a new coil pack?thanks Quote
cyborg Posted August 1, 2009 Report Posted August 1, 2009 never tried to repair a coil seen a vr6 aka galaxy coil on ebay 79.99 these people over at vw have played with the idea of a more robust coil set up ;) http://www.vwot.org/community/modules/Gall...00379.sized.jpg Lots of sticky back plastic requierd :) Quote
sepulchrave Posted August 1, 2009 Report Posted August 1, 2009 A new coil pack is best since it's only a matter of time before you get more problems with the old one, you can fix it by 'cooking' it in a low oven then recoating the insulator in epoxy lacquer. A new one is only about Quote

Hmmmm. :) not at all, they are spot on, same lengh as originals, 7mm silicon they are called 'kerr nelson high volt original equpment fit ignition lead set' off ebay by a company called expresspartsuk, Quote
sepulchrave Posted August 6, 2009 Report Posted August 6, 2009 I apologise, those leads are excellent. I just can't believe the price! Hats off to you robbeaumont, you have just found the de facto best buy for VR6 plug leads anywhere. In fact this thread should have glue applied. :D Quote
