I have a used drivers side coil pack that has a known defect. Cylinders 7, 8, & 9 have a misfire around 3500-4000 rpm.

I used this coil pack to trouble shoot my car to make sure I had a coil pack problem. Long story...

Anyway, IF anyone with a V12TT out there wants to troubleshoot their coil packs and is a tightwad, you can use this. Just pay shipping...



I hope no one thinks this is a scam, I can easily just throw it away - but it was useful to me and I thought maybe someone else could use it...

Here's a little more info

You'd only be interested in this if you have a cylinder 7-12 misfire issue. I used it when I only had a misfire on cylinder 11; because usually the coil packs fail in 3's (either 1,2,3 or 4,5,6 or 7,8,9 or 10,11,12) because of how they are made...but I was only have a fault on 1 cylinder. To trouble shoot, I swapped my coil pack for this coil pack and bingo, my problem moved from cylinder 11 to cylinders 7, 8, & 9 - thus telling me that I for sure had a coil pack problem and nothing more...

You should take it apart to see what actually goes wrong!

You know, that's a great idea!

I'll give it about 1 more week to see if anyone "needs" this; and if not (and I assume no one will) then I'll dismantle it.
