Where It Fits and What It Controls
Possible Symptoms of a Faulty Ignition Coil
- Rough idle, shaking or an intermittent misfire
- Hesitation and reduced acceleration
- Difficult starting or stalling
- Engine warning lamp or flashing warning lamp
- P0300 or cylinder-specific P0301-P0304 fault codes
- Increased fuel consumption or unburnt-fuel smell
- Possible catalytic-converter damage if a severe misfire is ignored
- Similar symptoms can also be caused by plugs, wiring, compression or fuelling
Why Choose a Used Factory-Fit Component?
Fitting Guide, Required Tools and Repair Time
Recommended competence: competent DIY or professional technician. Diagnose the misfire before replacing parts.
Typical tools
Trim tool • small ratchet and extension • correct socket for the retaining bolt • inspection light • diagnostic scanner • torque wrench where the manufacturer specification is available.
- Park safely, switch the ignition off and allow the engine to cool.
- Remove the upper engine cover where fitted.
- Release the electrical connector without pulling the wiring.
- Remove the retaining bolt and gently twist/pull the coil vertically from the spark-plug well.
- Inspect for oil, water, corrosion or a damaged spark plug. Correct any underlying leak first.
- Compare the old and replacement numbers, connector, mounting eye, boot length and seal.
- Install squarely, tighten to the Volvo workshop specification, reconnect and refit covers.
- Start the engine, confirm a smooth idle and clear/recheck stored fault codes as appropriate.
