Removing the ignition coil

Precondition

Ignition is switched off.

NOTE: RISK OF DAMAGE
Damage to the ignition coil.
The silicone hose of the ignition coil must not be contaminated by fuel as this can lead to failure of the ignition coil.

When working on the fuel system, cover the ignition coils with suitable materials and remove where required.
Do not oil or grease the silicone tube of the spark plug socket. Do not use any protection or maintenance products (e.g. silicone spray, rubber care products, rust remover, etc.).

Unlock the connector fastener (2) of the Ignition coil and disconnect the connector (1) .
Slowly pull the ignition coil up and take out without jerking it.
Pulling out the ignition coil with jerks may cause silicone hose to tear.
