#1: Quicksilver Problem Author: IceWhyte, Posted: Tue Jun 11, 2013 3:22 pm ---- Hey,
I have a 1.4 16v 2005 Quicksilver and find it hard searching for parts as the model "Quicksilver" is never used.
Apparently I need a new coil pack and have searched eBay and looked on that service box site which says that the 206 1.4 16v requires the 5970 85 coil pack so how can I be sure that it is right for my car?
I sent the mechanic a picture of it and he says it looks different.
Thanks

Have you tried carparts4less, ECP etc? You enter your reg then search for the part. I personally would not buy a coil pack from eBay.

IIRC, you have to be careful which make of coilpack you fit. Can't remember which one has issues, but it will be on the site somewhere.

The connector colour of the loom which plugs-in might well not be the same as the coilpack socket colour - this is normal.
You have to get absolutely the right part as there's quite a few versions and it's not immediately obvious that you've put-in the wrong one.
Under these circumstances I would go for a genuine coilpack in it's sealed plastic bag, with the part code staring at you.

Simples!!!
