Efficient way to do it - jack it up, get the drain pan out and go nuts.Went to do the in-tank fuel filter too. Pulled out one of the middle row seats, removed trim panels, folded back the carpet. Unfortunately the lock ring and fuel module were spinning together, so will have to buy a new lock ring and cut the old one off. At least now I know the drill for how to get to it.

Close to the OBD port too.The ultra gauge I've got hooked into the OBD gave a couple of pending trouble code alarms on the way to work this morning for coil plug circuits. Ordered a set of genuine coils as at 120,000 km there is a good chance mine are original.Might explain the occasional stall and roughness at idle I'm getting. Or I guess it could be the typical earthing issue causing the codes and the idle problem. Either way, worth buying the coils as you know you are always going to need them eventually! If that doesn't resolve the issue, I'll swap the current ones back in and add some earth straps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe only one or two bad ones , but at 200 bucks I am sweet for another 10 years. Might be up to 80K by then. The BF F6 still hasnt cracked 20K. Changed rear diff oil in territory. Had done 40K. Was somewhat dirty but no bad. May wait 50K next time. That castrol SAF 80-140 SYN works well. Edited 29/07/19 07:39 AM by arronm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I figure better to swap them than have a decent run through the hills spoiled by coil breakdown. I'm using exclusively Gulf Western fluids. If I'm ordering through them for trans fluid, I grab a couple of drums if engine oil and whatever else I need to get the cars through the next couple of years. What the heck? I'm sure I quoted Arron's post! Probably user error though if I'm honest.... MOD EDIT: fixed by k31th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
