My First Repair

Well I had to put my first thousand dollars into my 98' Navi. $225 for one plug and coil pack. $533 for 4 new tires. I only paid 6,000 for it and it has 124,000 on the clock. I did'nt think that was to bad. I almost told them just to replace all 8 coil packs and spark plugs untill I found out that the coil packs were $90 a peace. I think I did ok today. Anything else that I should be aware of in the near future.

Thanks
Nick

First repair

Wow I did not think they would cost that much, can the coils and plugs be purchased separately?

Yea they just suggest that you replace the plug with the coil.

I'm going to see about a set for my V-10. I sent a question to the seller asking how much for a ten pack. If I have to I'll just get two sets of eight and have some spares.

I got a complete set of coils from the same vendor and they've been in the truck for almost 10,000 miles now - no issues what-so-ever. Excellent deal! I got a complete set of MC plugs online, too, from an eBay vendor, for under $10. They went in the same time the COP's did, and, again, no issues, either.

They should have the 10-pack. When I was looking for my 8, the vendor also had listings for the V-10's, as well.

The link might not work next time depending on how long before you need another one. Usually those listings are good for only a month then they get relisted. When it's relisted the link changes. Your two options are to order a set now and have them on hand for when you need them, or just search for them when you do need them. Personally I keep a few extra hanging around just so I don't have to wait a week when (or if) I need one.

How often do these things fail. Have I just got myself into a money pit or what. All I hear is great things about these things. Be honest
