Johnny H 0 Posted January 4, 2012 Hi Guys. I've now got myself a VR6 Corrado after a LONG time of wanting one :dance: I brought it off a really nice guy from here called Michael (Toohottotrot). I Started yesterday morning (tuesday) at 6.30am and got to him at 9am 125 miles later and after looking and the car and talking for afew hours i brought the car and i was happy with it. I drove it home down the M5 with no trouble at all and loving the V6 :grin: I couldnt believe i had a Corrado so i took my son out for a drive to 'show of abit'. Then the trouble started, i started pulling away and she started missing and not sounding good :( I coundnt believe it when i found out that the coil pack had gone and i cant drive it now :pale: I wouldnt mind that much put i've not long sold my Audi S3 which always had coil packs going. So i have to wait until she is fixed now to have more fun. I will Start a thread all about her with pics when shes running nice again. Thanks Johnny Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Toohottotrot 10 Posted January 4, 2012 It's not what I wanted to hear from your first thread, after taking the car to the south of France and back last summer I was confident it was fine. Hope someone can offer a coil pack for sale? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jim 2 Posted January 4, 2012 The coilpack can just go like that though - so just one of those things! I've had my car working perfectly one day, and coilpack on the fritz the following day! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KIPVW 0 Posted January 4, 2012 As Jim says they can go at the drop of a hat, a few years ago at Stanford Hall show I parked up in the concours as usual gave the car a good clean and left it all day with the bonnet up but when i fired it up to leave it was missing big style :( thought someone had been messing for it to go like that lol! turns out was the coil pack. Hope you have many more trouble free miles in it.... Kip Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Johnny H 0 Posted January 4, 2012 Hi Guys, I did say he was a really nice guy and it is just one of them things. So thanks for the offer Michael but i don't think you should pay for it. The joys of having a car. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Toohottotrot 10 Posted January 4, 2012 I checked ebay and there are loads, does anyone know if the 2.8 coil pack is the same as the 2.9? I figure it is but better to know for certain. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
