Hi,
I really can't see them.
Don't know why.

I am posting from Italy, but refereshed the page with F5 and even ctrl+F5.

Also, I copied the link of one image (http://www.picvault.info/images/537095619_IMG_3221.JPG) but did not work either: got a blank page with no errors...

What else could it be?

 

Jeez, for a car that chews up plugs pretty quickly, this looks like a serious pain in the @$$. Not looking forward to doing this. In comparison, I can change all 4 plugs on the Exige in 10 minutes.

 

I was really surprised to see 996 P/N coils on a 997 turbo-

As stated earlier in the thread, that's one of the first things us 996 guys upgrade to as they're a better design...

If you're doing plugs, might as well upgrade your coils!

 

Zoom in on this picture, and read the part code for my engine block.

 

My block has a 964 part number! All 996s did until 04 when they started using the "Spanish block"

 

image links fixed

 

DIY shortcut...take out checkbook, take out pen...write large number...make Porsche dealer happy

 

Nice work @eclou, Just joined the club after selling my 996.going to give this a go after some more research. Any thoughts on how long the coil pack last? at 77,000 now.

 

Jay sorry for the 4 year late reply. If you ever committed to this job it would be insane not to change the coilpacks while you already got them out and there's fresh blood on your knuckles lol

 

No worries I can do them in under 10 minutes now as long as the4 engine is out for a coolant leak

 

I noticed a night and day difference when changing coil packs! Replace them if doing this X2!

 

Hi,
I replaced the original coilpacks by the thicker Beru coilpacks
To have somewhat more space to insert and tighten the screws in coilpack 3 and 6 I modified them.

Regards
Hans
