The wife was out in the lcr last night and i got a call saying the car was running funny lol I guessed straight away coil pack,and it was so i got one today from work. Changed it and car was fine :D

Now i went out earlier and the car started running on 3 cylinders again :cry: so checked and NOW another coil pack has gone down,so what i want to know is it common for more to go once the first one has?

cheers lee

What are the tell tale signs for this? As my car has recently developed a problem recently, running un-smooth at times, but on boost is fine?

Also service is not due until next June but going to service next month. .

mine just started to run on 3 cylinders lol so just unplugged 1 coil at a time while engine was running to find out which one it was.

Also when i changed the first one engine management light went out straight away,now changeed 2nd one and its still on :confused:

Any ideas as to why?
