There is a TSB (16/07 2820 Bar Ignition Modules (Coils) -- dated Jul 5, 2007) that states that all the older style coils should be replaced with the newer style (948.602.104.03).

if your car is under warranty - this would be free to you. If not, it is still highly recommended.

If you have broken one off you will need tweezers (or compressed air with safety glasses) to carefully remove the pieces.

I have the new redesigned ones now... But the one that was causing the problems was broken down in there. I have tried a pair of needle nose pliers to try and grab it and pull it out, but seem to not be able to grab enough of it to get enough pull..

Using needle nose pliers is still the way to do it, in combination with WD40 or similar product. It happen regular with the V6 coils.

I have a question. Where does the coil break/fail, is it on the rubber insulator the connects the coil to the plug? Any pics would be great.

Just where the metal cover begins, these are V6 coils.

Thanks RFM... I put a bit of WD40 in there and try again... First I'll go around to the hardware store and see if I can get a longer pair of needle nose pliers

Thanks again.
