Wish I read that post before I went and brought 6 coils from repco haha. If it turns to s*** ill be heading back there. I started out just having a look, and ended up having coils and plugs removed so had no car before I planned how Id get anything, Repco is just around the corner from me.yeah looked like white grease, and went for a drive and was happy as! cleaned up the BOV, runs smoother. Then 20 min into the drive, I felt the dreaded engine hesitation... did not fix.So if not coils and plugs... over boost? Im waiting for a gauge to be delivered for just this reason, a week late at the moment. thanks for the on call help this morning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And as above another member had a similar issue with repco coils swapped to genuine fixed the issue, if your unsure I would take it to a mechanic and get them to diagnose the problem. And as the car is getting older it wouldn't surprise me if a lot of them have been flash turned with a crappy capa tuner so I would put it on the dyno to make sure it isn't badly tuned and its isn't another potentially more expensive issue.

Ive got a warranty covered mechanic to look at it on Wednesday, if he can't sort it, ill have to pay the price for Ford to check....defiantly running better now, makes me a bit p****d off that I opted for Repco coils, could have gotten ford ones... but Ford was a bit of a drive away, and they were a different brand to whats in the car stock anyway.Time will let me know, if coils refuse to go, Ill be letting Repco know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the respected workshops have heaps of experience and know exactly what they're doing and will also provide after sales support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So stock coils were the correct ones but ford now source them from a new supplier hence the different brand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I called Ford and they quoted me $65 per coil. Repco $75, but I got them down to $60.Today taking the Turbo for a drive up into the Perth hills. my bro has just got a '02 R8 clubsport so time to take them both through some corners and see how its running.Ill post up later about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No reason to believe they are not the real deal as so many other members on here recommended the same seller. In the end there is buyer protection via PayPal if they are dodgy.
