Information:
Procedure for replacing faulty ignition coils.





Cracks in the ignition coil housing (--> Figure 1) can cause corrosion, which can result in a rough-running engine and misfiring.

Action Required:





If at least one ignition coil is diagnosed as faulty, the designation (with or without "EM 10", --> Figure 2) must be read off all ignition coils.

Depending on the designation ("EM 10") on the faulty ignition coil, either all ignition coils or a single ignition coil must be replaced, --> see "Procedure".





Parts Info

Information
The ignition coils with the designation "EM 10" can be ordered now using the parts catalog (PET). There is no additional identification for the new ignition coils in the PET.
