Reanult 2001 Clio Coils - IanW1977
What's the story with the "Pencil" type coils ?
RAC man said they were a common fault but after a bit of fiddling our 1 coil seems to have come back to life - 150 miles on and touch wood it's been fine.

any one had any experiences ?

Thanks

They're a very, very, common failure. If the date code on the coils is before 330-3 then Renault should give you a new [and improved?] set under extended warranty.

If you can; go for the Denso ones - the Sagem are rubbish and the Beru a bit so-so.

The engine wiring loom feeding them breaks up too - done several.
