    Default Replacing Ignition Coils

    Hey guys, I have a VZ T190 thats missing whenever I go over 3000rpm (‘Check Powertrain’ alert follows, scanner does not pick up any error codes). It was determined that one or more of my ignition coils are stuffed. Mechanics quoted me over $800 to replace all 6 with labour. Stuff that...

    I acquired 5 good ones off another VZ and want to put them in myself. How do I do this, do they just plug in, is there any procedure I need to follow? Just want to double check before I attempt anything. Thanks.

    Purely plug in, I think there may be 1 bolt at the end of the lead if I remember correctly.

    $800 isn't really that bad for a supply and fit of coils. The coils retail for $100 each...
    Need a part number? PM me.

    yeh its pretty straight forward once you get into them, one bolt that holds them on and they just slide out and slide in.

    Just getting into them thats tricky!
