Unhappy A five cylinder flat 6 ... !

This morning, when i fired my SVX up, I almost instantly detected a misfire from the engine.
30 seconds later I heard that the engine was only running on five or less cylinders ....
After an hour of testing and switching cables and coils and sparkplugs, I discovered that a ignition-coil was dead!
Ok, let's see ... A how many have been imported to Sweden....eeeh,11 I guess , and let's see 11 cars between the years -92 and -97 .... -how many spareparts are there in stock......and what will they cost???? .... 1 $zillion I guess..!! and probably not in stock..!!

So I called my Subaru dealer and gave him my situation.....
ok, I'll check he replied, -call you back!
An hour later he calls, -Sure i have found ONE .... in Sweden....
and the cost is ......700 kr. (about $85 .. or £70) including VAT..!!

WOW...is'nt life amazing sometimes

Thumbs up Cross compatability

Nice one Sonar.

It is extremely likely that the coil pack is the same as for the Imprezas, and the dealers would have plenty of spares for them.

It is only when you look for something that only the SVX wears, like a visor or a headlight, that cost and delay time goes up.

Hey SOnar

Sorry to hear about your plight - but that is interesting information about how many SVX's there are!!
