Need a new coil pack.
The original one I had on there was a Grey one but that got replaced with a Black one.
Whats the difference between the two?
Cheers in advance

Fit a genuine Bougicord coil pack along with Bosch Super Plus spark plugs.
The 2 different colours of connector plug is simple, some 206's come with a grey plug & others come with a black plug, you match the colour of plug on the coil pack to what is fitted on the car.

Is this definate Mr.B?
Do you mean if the loom connector is gray it has to plug into a gray socket version on the coilpack?

Not sure if it's 16mm. Also, get a spark plug socket with the rubber insert as it makes life easier when taking them out, and then trying to reseat the new plug onto the thread. Last thing you want to do is cross thread them.
I also found a flexible extension made life easier on my TU3 lump.

Sorry Macca, this thread is a couple of years old and I dug it up by using the search button. 
No idea about the coilpack connector colour?
Mine was changed at some point and not sure the correct one has been fitted. SB says 5970.A8.

Ah well, the information may still come in handy for someone if they use the search to find out about changing spark plugs.
