Help pleased

  1. #1
    Hi guys, was driving at a low speed heard a loud pop, almost like a tyre blowing out and the car then started juddering and splitting and from then the revs picked up really slowly it's a phase 2 vtr. Any help would be gladly appreciated

    Coilpack failure? Does it idle?

    Yeah does idle but just bellow 1000 rpm

    Like a tyre blowing out?!

    does sound like the coilpack has maybe failed.

    Unless it's a mechanical problem.

    got a vid or pic?

    Sounds the same as when mine blew out a plug. Did it twice (blew two plugs clean out). Turned out to be coilpack.

    Thanks everyone for the replays any idea on how much a new pack would be?

    Try a second hand one (ideally test from a mate before buying). Second hand they are about £10-15, new you're looking at about £40-£50.

    Your coil pack going made your spark plugs blow out lmfao?

    To the op. Some of the pug 206's have the same part numbers as the Saxo's and also have a lot less miles on them well the later 206's do. Just check the coil packs have the same plug connector and the same part number printed on them.

    Might be a silly question but would a 1.4 furio have one and work in a vtr?

    Yep, was on the motorway down to London, lost one cylinder than 10 mins later another. Took it to a garage and they redrilled it, fitted two plugs. Then driving back to nottingham they next day it did the same thing. So drive 100 miles with a 2 cylinder saxo sounding like a Harley. Few days later swapped for 16v!
