Very odd, when you say it melted do you mean the electrical connection end or the part that goes over the plug itself?Carl ________________________________________ C.G.Cars of Leicester, Peugeot/Citroen/Renault specialist Tel: 01162 624498/07799 405184 WWW.CGCARSLEICESTER.CO.UK36 narborough road south, Leicester LE3 2fn MOT station now open, tests £35 with a free retest.

The coil sparked and there was a burning smell. There is a crack in the side of the coil. I will try and put a pic up. cheers |

Sounds you like you might have a electrical short to that coil pack? Might be worth unplugging them all and checking the voltage at each plug. I have had a similar problem after I'd had the plastic cover off. I'd trapped a wire and shorted it!! |

I might have to take you up on those second hand ones Carl. The Peugeot dealer rang today and said that I needed 4 new coils and that there was only 1 left in New Zealand. Apparently $470 NZ each from France! what a rip off. They are sending the ECU away to be checked too! Im trying to source some coils locally at the moment. Nic |
