Jizzle Juice Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 I've used my connects and te damn thing is still high in price. I'd like to get a new one but can take used. Mine has a crack in it. It's a 95 passat vr6 thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
99FLHRCI Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 $177.35 rockauto.com has it for $57.89 from Standard Motor Products or $116.79 from Delphi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmann Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 take it off. Use hair dryer and dry the shit out of it. Then wipe off any dirt/grime and use some epoxy all over it to keep it from arcing. That will hold you off. I've heard surprising good results with the ebay ones.

TurboNova Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 Yup what gmann said I've done it for years on vr coils epoxy is your friend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farkas Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 Brandon, you'll never find one of those coilpacks at a decent price.. Either epoxy the current one or just suck it up like I did and just buy a new one Edit* JBweld it like this: http://www.gtishrine.com/beru_epoxy.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That picture url says Beru_epoxy (coil MFR, and epoxy not JB weld) anyway... Also, I've never heard of JB weld holding up for any length of time if at all.

Farkas Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 Bahhh.. too lazy to fix it. All the coilpacks are the same in design and I would trust JBweld before Epoxy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jizzle Juice Posted January 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 (edited) Thanks guys. Doing this epoxy/jbweld thing as we speak. Edited January 3, 2011 by Jizzle Juice Damn auto correct Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmann Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 True. Now that I think about it though wouldn't RTV silicon work better because it stays a gel/fluid as opposed to a solid like JB (I've seen JB crack). Brandon, I have a spare coilpack in my garage you can borrow that I found this AM. I'll find your OBD thread and re-text you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Das Borgen Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 take it off. Use hair dryer and dry the shit out of it. Then wipe off any dirt/grime and use some epoxy all over it to keep it from arcing. That will hold you off. I've heard surprising good results with the ebay ones. mine lasted about 85k miles and it was STILL going strong when I sold my VR6 at 192kmiles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
