hey so ive been told i need coil packs to fix my mis fire but i went to the dealership and they tried selling me the coil pack assembly is this what i need?

if not what and where do i get and find coil packs please help me thank you all

 

I'm sure you can get coilpacks at some Pep Boys or Kragen.



They should run somewhere around $30.

 

cool and it called a coil pack right they are gonna know what that is

 

If they know what they do, they should know it. It should look like the picture I posted.

Good luck!

 

thanks man

 

you have a 2.8, that coilpack is for a 1.8t. 2.8's use three central coil packs that look like this

it comes as one unit and should be somewhere around $200. a misfire could also be due to old plugs or wires, when were they last changed?

 

^ Oh damn! My mistake. Totally assumed he had a 1.8T without reading the sig.

 

And you will end up replacing these inferior packs in 5K miles when they crap out again. Coil packs should be purchased OEM ONLY. They have enough problems as it is, don't buy cheap imported (usually Chinese) crap. They are only $33 list each from the dealer. Don't but them elsewhere.

But anyway... same deal with the older V6 coil pack. Don't cheap out, get a genuine replacement. You'll usually find rust on older ones and the plastic will crack off. It's a tell-tale sign of a bad V6 coil pack.

 

You're probably right. However, I had to get one at Pep Boys before since I was on a road trip when it blew.

It had lasted me over a year now with more than 10K (pretty sure).

 

u can also try the vw dealership and tell the it is a v6 passat it is the same part and sometimes it is a little cheaper
