Less than half the price of the Genuines and no difference in reliability or anything.

I've used 2 sets (Borgg and another set selling for $124) and they were both rubbish. The Borggs lasted days until they totally failed and began to misfire. The $124 dollar jobs lasted a couple of weeks and they did the same. Other's have reported similar issues while some have had no problems.The point? Buy at your own risk! Don't forget that even though genuine Ford units are a bit exy, they come with a 2 year warranty.

straughsberry Donating Members 1,846 Member For: 17y 8m 11d Gender: Male Location: Broady, Melbourne Posted 17/01/10 07:07 AM Share Posted 17/01/10 07:07 AM That's another story. I'm sceptical that the ebay Ford genuine coils are actually Ford genuine coils. I know what the dealer buy price is on these and it's more than what they are being sold for on ebay. So how are they selling them for a fair bit less than the dealer buy price?
