At 90K miles I found one of the coils cracked and another showing signs of cracking so I replaced all 6.

The prices on the set went down to $239, so the price is good.

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.

6 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi, I'm new here on the site. I have a Porsche 996 Carrera 4 2000 58000miles I'm getting ready for my 60 000 mile service (to do myself) and I'm shopping for ignition coils, since they seem to be the most expensive part of the service. I've read about the coils starting with the serial number 996 and the ones starting with 997. I read that the 997's were the newest ones on the market. Is there a difference? I found a good deal on Ebay for the 997's for about $300, has anybody found a better deal anywhere? Link to Ebay http://motors.shop.ebay.com/sportsca...=1&_from=&_ipg= Kristian

POST 2Original post

Ignition coils on 996s rarely go bad. After working in Porsche dealerships for 3 years I've only replaced one coil on a 996. I'd say just replace the plugs and don't worry about it.

POST 3Original post

At 90K miles I found one of the coils cracked and another showing signs of cracking so I replaced all 6. Purchased from Suncoast in FL. I don't think they were bad since the new ones did not really make a difference.

POST 4Original post

Don't need to worry about them until your car starts having issues when it's wet outside, or if you're big on preventative maintenance.

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks guys, I got the coils and replaced them. The car is running perfect now. I ended up getting the coils for $279 (a set of 6) on Ebay KL

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi, My friend who has a 996 2002 Turbo wanted to buy the same coils as I did (Carrera 4 2000). They look like the ones he has on his car. Is there any difference? The prices on the set went down to $239, so the price is good.
