Check the part number on your existing coils and see if the match the lited part number?

Should be OK but check with the seller first?

Advice followed, removed one and checked part number, spot on.
Cheap as chips for a set...?
On the way and had the diagnosis confirmed by technician with correct equipment today so at least i know it will run spot on when they are fitted.
Dissapointed to have to start fixing things within the first week of ownership..

I remember, there was a technical note regarding Denso and Sagem coils. Many cars came with the lower quality coils installed and they should be replaced by the better type. What is what I cannot remember as my car is a diesel. So, read the documentation before buying. It is also necessary to use some special silicone grease during coil installation in order to prevent them from early failures.

I believe it was Sagem that were the crap ones.
