judgee New Member 23 Member For: 14y 2m 23d Posted 03/05/12 10:00 AM Author Share Posted 03/05/12 10:00 AM I obviously pulled them out when I did the plugs a few weeks ago and they looked in good nick. Do you think there is a coincidence that I have recently pulled the plugs and the coils are now dying or could I have not put one back on properly. How sensitive are they Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine was doing the same thing, bought a set of genuine coils off eBay, whacked them in and it was all fixed. Coils in it looked fine but must of been shot internally.

Turns out that the code came back as an overboost issue.I am awaiting to find out exactly what it is however is a wastegate issue.Will keep you posted- maybe a sensor.
