Title: ignition coil
Post by: rocket on January 24, 2011, 06:05:34 PM
Last night, my 4 year old Latio suddenly vibrated terribly afetr move off from traffic light, scared and called Insurance company immediately to tow to to Tan Chong Motor, today I  was informed 3 out of 4 ignition coils  were damaged, the last one also degrade, might not last long. For safety and balance, they requested to replace 4 coils together. total cost was 800+,  :crycry: :crycry:

Just wondering, what is the chance that 3 coils spoil at the same time? is it necessary to replace all the 4 coils?  anyone encountered such issue before?

On this note, anyone know how long does our Latio ignition coil last?

I also noticed that when I stop the car while engine is idling, I can feel the driver seat vibrates intermittently. Is that a symptom that my coil might be damaged as well?
