VR6Pete 1,456 Posted July 26, 2015 Report Share Posted July 26, 2015 Well the VR6 didn't make it to Cornwall.Infact, I didn't even make it 100 yards down the road before my Clifford alarm decided to activate and car wouldn't do anything. Eventually got it going and it did the same again. Just what I wanted on my street at 4am, sure my neighbours loved me. Ripping it out now as its a bag of crap! ssaunders, daveyboy, bennyk and 1 other 4 Link to post Share on other sites

ssaunders 199 Posted July 29, 2015 Report Share Posted July 29, 2015 Was it easy enough to do pal?Been thinking about putting one on mine due to the issues I had. Simples one of thesehttp://www.emeraldm3d.com/connectors/ford-gen2-coil-pack-plug-pins-6cyl.htmli got one of these http://www.eurocarparts.com/ecp/c/Ford_Mondeo_2.5_2003/p/car-parts/car-electrics-and-car-lighting/ignition/ignition-coils/?413590261&1&9b5189ebab40724bf3c7601e68b1ab062990e6ff&000197but any V6 ford between 2000-07 coil pack, these are Gen 2 and our spark leads fit right on!follow these wiring instructionshttp://forums.thecarlounge.com/showthread.php?4223032-Ford-Coil-Pack-on-VR6-with-Picsfirst couple of pages refer to the Gen 1 pack (different spark towers)mine was easier because i have aftermarket ECU so didnt have to connect to the ICM on the side of the pack.bits to remember...its an idea to cut the aluminium heat sink down (a must if you have engine plastics in place otherwise leads wont fit)ford pack only has 3 mounting bolt holes 2 line up perfectly you will need to fab a mount for the 3rdif you want to keep original lead arrangement (eg top 3 from spark towers going to the back, bottom 3 going to the front), the ford connector needs to be mounted facing down.i bodged mine in 45 minutes, so i reckon a proper job would be a couple of hours, give me a shout if you need help.s Link to post Share on other sites
