BREMI Coils Replacement with BOSCH


The replacement took place when one of my coils failed, causing the engine light to turn on. After reading all the fuss made about the failure rate of Bremi coils, I suspected that I was a victim as well.

 

A quick visit to the dealer got me 6 brand new Bosch coils at £14.00 each. They already knew that Bremi coils had issues.

 

Installation difficulty: 2 out of 5 (because you have to run to a shop to erase the fault code)

1. Remove the cabin air filter assembly! How to do this is written on the blower fan DIY.

 

2. Remove the engine cover by popping the 2 small covers and removing the 2 nuts below. 12mm If I remember correctly.

 

3. Remove the 3-pin plug from each coil

 

4. Twist 90 degrees counterclockwise each coil and pull it out. Now it's a good time to change the spark plugs if you need to.

 

5. Insert the new coils in the exact way; insert, twist.

 

6. Plug the wires back and start the engine. Verify it's running properly before placing the covers back.

 

7. Re-install the engine cover, cabin filter and you are good to go!
