Totally Off Topic. Anyone ever changed the coils on a Fiesta
In article , Gary
scribeth thus As topic. I am sure that someone on here has the info or knows where to point me . 1300 cc 02 Reg Fiesta endura engine. Injection. How do you remove the ignition Coils. "Just unbolt it" it says in the Haynes manual. It is mounted behind the engine under all the injection stuff. The Haynes manual just doesn't mention how to get to it. What to remove or how. It could be me, I must be missing something. Any help welcomed. TIA Gary Try a post over on UK D-I-Y there're very helpful there!..... -- Tony Sayer |

You don't usually have to remove any of the 'injection stuff'. -- *If you lived in your car, you'd be home by now * Dave Plowman London SW To e-mail, change noise into sound. |

I rebuilt a Fiesta years ago but it won't be like yours now I shouldn't think. What I do know though is that these instructions in the Haynes manuals often do just say such daft things, and you end up having to be very good at modifying spanners and sockets and socket sets, and very handy at working back to front and upside down standing on your head with a mirror and four spare hands. (On an old Micra that needed a new timing chain, the manual just said 'undo the crankshaft pulley - but the nut/bolt end was hidden in a recess in the chassis. I had to take off an engine mounting and jack the car up and lever the engine down before I could get a spanner on to 'remove nut'!) I'm sure they often write this stuff when they have the engine brand new on a bench out of the car. You may find that enough lateral thinking will help you get at this, or even bypass it and fit one with longer leads in a more accessible position. Good luck, S |
