3.0 Coil pack test numbers.

[Dillon]

Im going to take my coilpacks to autozone and have the resistance tested but what numbers should i look for? and can this mess them up if there not already bad?

[Crekuc]

Why in gods name go through all that? Just find someone in your area with a Vag or even a good Solus scanner and you can check each coilpack. Way less labor involved. Just my 2 cents!

[B6JoeS4]

why do you wan to test them? if they work, they work

[mayhem]

What is the purpose of testing them? The coils are a minor pain to pull off on the 3.0, if your car is running smoothly and you have no CEL there isn't much of a point in doing this.

My car is not running smoothly and i have a cel..... I have them already taken out and need to figure out which ones are bad.

Go to autozone and have them scan the car. Or find someone with VAG COM

[Dillon]

My cel is flashing so its a no go on driving it for now. I just sold my wheels for a decent price tonight so im gonna go ahead and just buy all new ones.

this how you see which ones work, turn car on pull each coil 1 by 1 to see if engine sound changes. if it changes, its not the one. if it doesnt then thats the one not working.

Checking the codes will tell you which ones are bad because the computer stores which cylinder had misfires. Replace the coils in those positions and you're good.

You know there is a recall out for this issue and you cna just get it fixed at your local dealer, right? Or just buy yourself a complete new set and sent the bill to AoA. Throw out the known bad one(s) and keep the rest as spares in case you get into trouble again.

make sure you keep your receipt! audi is reimbursing as there is a recall on the coil packs

[B6JoeS4]

dont let the engine run when you have bad coilpack for too long. the unburned fuel will destroy your car which is a costly pair if your above 90k miles.

I got the recall in the mail and everything but when i called Audi they said there only replacing the bad ones for now and for me to bring my car in and they will see if i need it. My dealership is about 75 miles away so thats a no go.

[mayhem]

Bummer.

Still, you cna find out which one is bad by checking the codes. it'll tell you which cylinder is misfiring.

[Dillon]

Ok cool thanks. Ill try and get the codes for you.

[Dillon]

Ok scratch what i said before i called A.O.A. instead of the dealership this time and they said as long as i buy Coil packs that are approved by Audi they will reimburse me.

So now the question is which ones are approved by Audi?

[zz2h33]

if you can wait for shipping buy these from greg at DTH. best price around. might as well get all 6 as these are the latest and greatest. and yes, they are approved by audi

I thought those were for the 1.8t does it matter?

Those are for the 1.8T. They won't work on the 3.0. The correct part number for the 3.0 coils is 06C905115M. It replaced the L's. We just got a bunch in this morning (http://www.europaparts.com/ignition-...6c905115m.html)

Thanks Matt i will be ordering all 6 from you guys monday. If this dosent fix it im gonna cry.... lol

[Dillon]

Two more questions.

Does a dealer or mechanic have to change the coil packs to be reimbursed?

I changed all my plugs, And tried to crank it with the bad coil packs. Did this foul my new plugs?

[Dillon]

Bump!

[Dan1969]

To answer your question probably not, unless you actually have a strong gas smell. As far as the recall goes I wouldn't know. I would say the dealer has to do it in order to be a recall work...

[zz2h33]

^no, others are getting reimbursed after purchasing their CPs and replacing them themselves. OP, did you ever get the recall letter from Audi? It tells you in there how/where to send in the receipts and the reimbursement form.
