It isn't necessary to remove the silencers to change the coil packs and plugs on a Carrera.

Suggestion

Ignition coils are avalible form Eurocarparts with a range of prices ARC £17.92 Bosch £25.85 BERU £30.00 Porsche want the same £40.78 for either type 997.602.107.00 for the 3.4 997.602.104.00 for the 3.6 The only thing to bear in mind is that the screws holding them in might be Torx and not to over tighten the new ones when you put them in AFAIK the screws should be done to 10Nm (7.5ftlb)

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Can anyone tell me please or provide pictures on how to access the plug coils. I think one or two could do with replacing. What do i need to do to access them? thanks

POST 2Original post

Easier said than done m8. Need to drop the muflers to get to those bad boys. From under car drop Mufflers, remove cylinder head heat sheilds, and then under there are your coils. 2 bolts on each.

POST 4Original post

The 996 uses coil-on-plug, so you have one coil per plug. Behined the heat shield, and under the coil packs are the plug tubes and plugs. The tubes can leak oil, see my other post on cleaning my car up for some pictures and an idea of what it is.

POST 5Original post

@ gaz911 - See steveoz32's posts about 'cleaning the old girl up' and 'plug tubes'. It explains it pretty well. Edit: beat me to it Steve. It isn't necessary to remove the silencers to change the coil packs and plugs on a Carrera. The Turbo is a marathon though.

POST 6Original post

I heard you really need to remove the rear bumper and IC's to get to them on the turbo, sounds a lot more 'fun' than the NA
