Busted retention tabs on coils
Posted: Tue Aug 16, 2016 10:08 pmSomehow when I did the plugs on my H6 I managed to break all the retention tabs on one bank (drivers side) of coils. The other bank I managed to release without any damage. Either did something wrong technique wise or the tabs degraded on the one side only.
Car runs OK, but occasionally (about once a week) one slides off slightly, runs rough, and I need to pull over and push it back on. Have tried some thin gauge wire to wrap around the coils (a single wrap) and hold them in place but this didn't last.
Any ideas on how to keep these coils in place without buying 3 new coils at ~200USD each? Or anyone wrecking a H6 with 3 known good coils for cheap?
Thanks
