Impellor Member 835 Member For: 14y 9m 15d Gender: Not Telling Posted 29/05/12 08:57 PM Share Posted 29/05/12 08:57 PM Recenty I was speaking to an Auto One guy who appeared to know a bit about XR6 Turbo's. He informed me that the Ford coil packs were designed so that you could only do 3 plug replacements and then they were stuffed. Anyone know anything about this.

Genuine is generally a safe bet 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/80380-coil-pack-query/#findComment-1245701 Share on other sites More sharing options...
