VR6 Coil pack
Hi guys
My coil pack has failed.
Ontop of that I received this reply from Barons:
"Hi Shadley
Price is R7700.00 but there is no stock at factory meaning we will have to order from Germany"
What replacement coil pack would you guys suggest would be best?
Thanks
Shadley

I'm pretty sure you could do the MSD coilpack upgrade for that kind of money
GW coilpacks seem to be hassle free. I didnt try one myself but I know guys who replaced theirs years ago and have had no issues. IIRC they were somewhere between R1500 and R2000.

Re: VR6 Coil pack
Just to let you okes know, put in new pack. Idle was clean and she revved up clean too... drove about 400m and the dreaded misfire was back with a vengeance. Turns out the 3 month old bougis was the issues. Put back 5 of my oem leads and she's doing great again.

Re: VR6 Coil pack
So the issue was not the coil pack, rather the leads?

Re: VR6 Coil pack
yes, the only reason i replaced the leads was because one of them had been taped.
pack at GW costs R1900, Diesel Eclectrical R2020, Autozone Epping R1350.
I paid R950 for a new coil pack at a spares shop in Kensington, took a day to order though.

Re: VR6 Coil pack
As per Facebook I told you at the start it was your leads.
GW sell Bremi leads for R1000 and they are perfect.

Are you selling the Coil Pack or going to hang onto it as a spare?
