I dislike pencil coils:(

[Chrisjk]

I understand that on the k4m the pencil coils often die, well it looks like another 1 of mine has gone, ill be on 3 sets in 6 months, at least they are only £10 on ebay.

wasted spark conversion FTW

 

[Chrisjk]

Whats that pal?

 

[sideways danny]

single coil and leads. (172/182 style) Not tried it on a renault with standard ECU to be honest. Nissans have similar trouble though and converting is becoming more popular. I'd probably convert my 200sx if i didn't have a box of 50 spare coils lol

 

[Chrisjk]

I see, well for £10 a time ill just pass them off as running costs lol.

 

[ditz]

im sure it would be easy,,,, as even with the pencil coils they still run wasted spark

next time one comes in missfiring im gonna give it a go

 

[clio__chris]

i thought the newer ones were supposed to be more reliable

my 1st set that were on the car failed within a year........ since then no probs once renault changed all of them

 

[steviet]

Ive got 3 different types of coil on mine, so theyve obviously been changed at some point. But havent had one fail on me since Ive owned the car (3 years)

There one easy fix get the proper new ones and use the correct stuff in them when you fit them.
