  • Cylinder pipe match?

    Hi - sorry for the dumb question - my Coupe vibrated and popped through the left side exhaust last time out for a short while. I have new coilpacks to fit to the cylinders feeding that exhaust but can't access my car with a jack etc in it's lock-up as I'm the first in of four cars and limited space but there is enough room to pop the bonnet and get to the cylinderhead - can anyone tell me which cylinders match the left pipe? Use front/back terminology would be simpler for me.
    Cheers - Bruce.

    Check the fault memory, if it is a misfire it should store a fault to one cylinder. Otherwise your just guessing.

      I agree, just guessing. But I don't have any way to read the fault memory, the car is on it's original coilpacks at 107k, the plugs are only 1000 miles old and it's a keeper so don't mind giving it fresh coilpacks before time.
      Cheers - Bruce.

          That'll do the job, looks like the rear three feed to the left side - odds in my favour now, thanks for the pic - cheers Bruce.
