Ignition coil

mrgrumpy88 · 10-08-2009, 11:43 AM

Hi All,

Just wondering if anyone else has had there ignition coils replaced?

Mine went in for a replacment on cylinder 1 today and six months ago a new coil was replaced on cylinder 2.

Is this a common problem with BMWs I know it was common on the VAG group of cars a few years ago.

As it's quite expensive to replace - was initially quoted £177 for 1 coil

but then got some good will after complaining!

First one was done under warranty - which unfortunately ran out a couple of months ago.

Thanks

Yeah mine went about 3 months ago, had to get it replaced along with MAS and ECU re-program. Luckily enough mine was under warranty. Took 6 days for it to be all done............6 days with a diesel megan....not fun!!!

I had one go on my 335i six months ago, my wifes 118i needed one three weeks ago, and then another one today. Managed to pick up a scratch while it was at the dealers too!
