cheers

Yes, both have the same engine I believe. 143 bhp (145 ps). You should have no problems. Well! Other than the pain in the **** that they are to fit thanks to the awkward position of the coil packs! :irked:

 

[Stu]

Yes, as per PM.

All 1.8 VVC's that are wasted spark twin coil down the back of the engine are the same.

MGF
Vi
BRM
Coupe

I have VVC spark plug lead fitting down to a fine art - last set took 12 mins to change......but I had scratched arms for the pleasure!

 

[Stu]

About what it take me.

Having long arms and being able to reach around the engine to pass the lead through is a blessing.

Just do them from the coil end one at a time and you can do it all with feel from the top of the engine.

 

[Dr Dave]

Exactly....one at a time......


I'm not too happy with all this "Reach Around" talk here :err:

[Dr Dave]

Oh it's just my nasty mind at work Stu! Don't worry!

 

[Dr Dave]

There is a reference to it in Full Metal Jacket......just remembered.

[Stu]

OK, eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrgggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!

[Dr Dave]

Leave that for Vlad!

^^^^^

i had a set of mgf vvc leads for me VI when i did the head and they were nowhere near long enough to reach the coil packs down the back.

you sure the mgf ones are the same???

 

[flintsigs]

these are off a coupe not a mgf

 

[Striker]

you sure the mgf ones are the same???

Yes, they are. Are you sure you don't have a set of 1.8 mpi leads instead of vvc ones?

Couldn't have been VVC leads then Si....:err:

 

[Stu]

Nope, just MGF Mpi ones at a guess.

The box mine came in had the designation of MGF VVC on it and no other models.

 

[Stu]

I guess you would soon know when you looked for where the kingpin lead went .

 

[Si]

I guess you would soon know when you looked for where the kingpin lead went .

lol, i didn't get that far, i took them outa the box and went "NO chance" :lol:

guess they must have just been from a 1.6 F or maybe the 1.8i
