Set up
Using a multi-bit screwdriver and a 10 mm socket, unscrew the two bolts holding the engine cover.
Remove the engine cover.
Visualise
You can now see where the ignition coils are located.
There are 3 ignition coils located on the passenger side and 3 located on the driver side.
Disconnect the ignition coil
Disconnect the power from the ignition coil. To do this, start by pushing on the white tab, then on the connector. You can use a flat head screwdriver.
Then, using a fork, remove the wiring harness retaining clip.
Remove the ignition coil
Using a ratchet, an extender and a long 8 mm socket, remove the bolt holding the coil.
You can now carefully remove the coil, making small lateral back and forward movements.
Clean around the spark plug
Tip: we recommend using a thin plastic tube taped to the end of a vacuum to properly clean around the spark plug. This prevents the dirt from falling into the motor.
Install the new ignition coil
Take the new coil. Put the coil back.
While holding the assembly, screw the retaining bolt back in by hand. Screw it in until it makes contact using the ratchet.
Finish tightening using a torque wrench.
Disconnect the ignition coil
Then put the retaining clip back in place.
Plug the electrical connector back in. And lock it.
Finish the operation
You can now repeat the process on the other ignition coils. We advise you to change the ignition coils one by one, as it is important not to swap coils.
Operation complete.
