Hi All

Has anyone had a set of coil packs replaced if so what happened to make you do this? I have a 93 WRX which judders in 4th and 5th gears around 5500 rpm and have been told that this is whats wrong are they right or wrong?
Any replies to this would be greatly be appreciated.
Thanks

 

Usually happens at higher revs, as you mention though that could also indicate clutch wear. Coil packs tend to break down between th 60k-75k mark. & its worth replacing them all in one go.......
PS welcome on board

 

thanks xtreme scoobies good to be on board

any further suggestions anyone?

 

Coilpacks were replaced at 70k on my95uk.
it was cutting out at high boost.
All replaced and all ok.
Thats what happened just before I bought the car.( I bought it from a pal)

this could be a conclusive thread

 

It probably is the packs, but may not be. They are not cheap so worth checking them. Take them out and peel back the rubber at the plug end of the packs. If the plastic is cracked and broken underneath then they need replacing.

About 50 quid each from subaru.

You could get the aussie bosch coil pack which is supposed to be better, and a bit cheaper but will take a while to order and get them.

 

thanks roojai

have you got a link or company for the aussie ones ?
