after how many miles is spark plug and coil pack new to be changed??
I have about 45k miles on my 08 turbo.... I bought it with about 36k miles a year ago... I did oil change, i dont drive her as much but wanted to know when i should do these maintainance changes.....

Spark plugs are recommended for replacement at the 24,000 mile interval mark. As for the coils, there isn't a set time frame, most tend to change them when they do the spark plugs. We offer a few different coil and plug kits when decide to change them, for more information Click Here.

spark plugs are 12000 miles for a gt2, which runs more boost.
a tuned 997 should follow the gt2 service schedule. |

I made this to help with checking service schedule. Might be of value to you and can be modified to suit your driving habits/car.
|
I remember reading that 30- 40 k were the limits in stock cars...if you have higher boost 20 k should be more then enough....
|
The factory interval is also after 4 years, so your car is about 2 years overdue according to the factory. I really don't get the time interval for the change personally.
|
What are signs of bad plugs/coils? My car has approx. 26.5k on it, stock with the exception of a catless exhaust. Just wondering what are symptons that you are due for a change? I will change both sparks and coils when I tune the vehicle.

You could wait until you receive a misfire warning code. I'm running a range colder plug and the first set lasted 20,000 miles.

the tech told me the error codes were general misfire and misfire cyl 4. I don't know the code #.

I received the engine warning light on the dash for a couple of seconds. It lit at redline/wide open throttle but went off as soon as the revs dropped. The tech told me it was a misfire when he connected his laptop to the car.
I also had felt a reduction in throttle response prior to plug change. Now throttle response is back to normal. |
When the dealer does this plug/coil work....do they drop the motor? Heard this job runs about $1600. True?

No need to drop the engine. Coil Packs were $78ea, so about $480 total. I was charged $760 labor plus plugs and packs

I ended up doing it myself. It helps greatly to LOWER the motor, but it does not have to be removed (if that is what you meant by "drop the motor")? I wrote up a DIY with photos and posted here and on Rennlist. Not terribly easy, but doable if you have the time and stamina :) Good luck. DC |
