Hi All,
I'm venturing out of my more usual VW forum here.......!
My girlfriends Clio R-reg, 1.2 biaritz, not sure which engine code. It has a really bad misfire on cylinder 3 - if i pull the HT it makes no difference. Intermittantly i can see a big orange spark inside what i figure is a 'coil pack' and next to the HT for cyl.3.
Is this the coil? its a large rectangular (~2"x3") thing with the 4 HT plugs set into what looks like an epoxy resin, on top back left of engine block. Is this the renix unit the GSF parts list mentions? if not can i get it from GSF??
any help suggestions much appreciated
PB

According to the 'book', a Clio 1.2 engine is a D7F which has two coils side by side on the right hand end of the camshaft cover. I would have thought that a faulty coil affecting no. 3 cylinder would also affect no. 2 as they use the same coil. Normal procedure is to remove the coil's multi plug and check the low tension circuit with a meter. Sparks...almost forgotten what they were...more used to chugging diesels!
