Coil removed from my 54k miles C4S! Two like this and three with more minor cracks!

Can't find a picture of it (know I had one though) of mine.

Took it to my Indy after it started getting "the code". When I picked it up I asked if they were indeed cracked his answer was "you tell me" and pointed to the tool chest they were sitting on. Half the top was missing from one

Had another couple that looked about like yours and one that I would have sworn was recently installed (dirty, but no visible cracks), but it had the same 70k and 14 years that the others did.

When I had the engine gone over last year, we did new plugs but the coils were still all good to go. This was at 82K. It's amazing they last as long as they do.

Wow... bet ya mine look the same Wild Bill! We'll wait and see!

A dab of JB Weld and it will be ready for another decade or two!

Great idea! I'm going to do that so I have spares. Thanks!

The packs that came out of my C4 when I swapped them out two years ago were in similarly awful condition - one had cracked badly enough that it had post-washing-crappy-startup syndrome. In retrospect, I could have just bagged the entire engine before washing, but stupidly I did not consult Rennlist first.
