coilpacks + remap?

[cupraNCS]

Had to replace my 2nd coilpack today since geting a remap on monday

Was just wondering if this is gona happen all the time now or is it just because the coils are coming to the end of their lifespan and the extra power was just to much for them?

more power = more stress on parts and finds out older/weaker parts. if i was you i'd replace the lot save messing

Prbrbly will just replace the other 2 then.

how long should the new ones be expected to last?

when one goes the one next to it tries to make up for it i think so when 1 has gone the next normally wont be far behind.. then the next lol

As above definately best to change them all.. Should last a good couple of years i'd hope... Not sure though as only replaced mine about 6 months ago!

mine seem to go randomly...I've replaced 5 in 2 years

All four of mine went after being Revo'd, replaced under warranty with the later revision and they lasted 2 years (1 has been playing up lately).

Had 3 of mine go within 6 weeks of a Revo, just the way it is. I carry a spare with me now, just waiting for that fourth one to go anyday now

Posting this will end my luck, but I'm the same as above.

I had one go after Custom Code Remap so i have a couple of spares ready for when the next one pops

I've replaced 3 of mine since the CC remap mate, just waiting on the 4th to go now. The first one went on the test run as I drove it out the garage lol

afaik the new coils come with a 60k mls warranty

I was told that when one goes you should really change them all, extra stress on the remaining 3 when one goes is most likely going to damage the good ones
