Can you post what brand and part number you are using?? Might help steer someone to a better brand. It's very maddening to keep doing the same repair!!

I fully agree with you tbird6!

Aftermarket coils in a word....suck!

Stick with genuine Jaguar OES coils or Motorcraft OEM coils - yes, more expensive than aftermarket but you'll be thankful you spent the extra dollars to ensure getting the job done right the first time with quality parts.

If you VIN is after M45254 no.

Please just grab the Vehicle Specs PDF free from the stickies as it has that and more.

I was buying the coils from www.rockauto.com. I have to say that Rock Auto was VERY good about taking the coils back and didn't give me any hassle what-so-ever. But I agree with you, it was way too many failures. The guy on the phone pulled up the part number and told me there had only been 2 returns of that part number and both of them had been mine. Am I lucky or what???

Stay away from...........Standard Motor Products part UF435.

Cornpops,
Your firing order/ coil placement is as follows.

Windshield
5 6
3 4
1 2

My car kept blowing the #5 coil. It's the only one where you have to remove half the car to get to it!!! lol.

Hope this helps!
