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

Question on Coil packs
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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

My 2002 996, broke down following some rough running. The Green Flag computer said that two of the coil packs had failed. Should I replace just these two or all six, not sure when they were last replaced Any advice would be most welcome RaJ

POST 2Original post

Hi Raj Easy answer replace all 6, a very easy DIY if your that way inclined.

POST 3Original post

Hi raj As Andy says, for what they cost and while your in there it's just as well to replace all 6 Over time they crack & split causing water to penetrate Replaced mine with "Beru" from carparts4less or euro car parts Straight forward task really Hope this helps you Steve 2006 Cayman S Lancs

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks Ordered 6 new coil packs, from Eurocrat parts Should I replace the spark plugs a the same time, last changed 18months ago, done 2500 miles since then

POST 5Original post

18months and 2.5k they should be fine, worthwhile to remove check and clean as necessary.

POST 7 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Andy I have just noticed on car parts for less, Bremi branded coil packs are about £10 each less than the Beru, is there any quality difference? Thanks Raj

POST 8Original post

I don't know about the Bremi ones, but Beru and Bosch were original fitment.

POST 9Original post

I replaced mine with beru. However, only replaced the two that were playing up. 20k miles later, still no issues with others. Coils do go in pairs so if one fails you can almost be sure that the other has gone
