Back finally.... with a few car troubles along the way

Postby Terabyt3 » Tue Mar 24, 2009 2:14 pm

Hey all finally back up and running on the internet. Just thought I'd pop on here and leave some info about my recent troubles with my Meg.

A few month ago I went to put my car in for a pad change and on driving to garage the ECM light came on and I noticed a distinct cut in power. Luckily the garage was only at the end of the street and a friend who works there diagnosed it for free. Within seconds he said it was the Coil Pack 3. So they replaced it at a cost of £70.

2 weeks ago same symptoms same fault but this time i was a bit further from a garage (different coil pack) and as I am covered by the AA I just gave them a ring. They came in 20 minutes and behold carried Coil Packs with them :o they repaired in no time at all and only charged £48.

Now....... Last week a third pack went. this time i bought 2 from ebay for £20 and fitted them myself as after watching AA guy realised how damned easy it is.

Only one more pack to die now but i have a spare in the boot. Aparrently quite a common fault after 30k I'm at 32k now.

Most mechanics recommend changing all the coil packs at the one time, once one breaks, mainly because of the problems you have been experiencing! :D
