Funny it was the same cylinder. I think mine happened when I was twisting the coil around to get it back in the hole and around that hose coming down. It isn't going back out on the road until spring, so I will probably either buy a new coil, or do something like you did before spring.

On a side note, I went to Pelican parts to price a coil. It's like $50. Not terrible. Then I was looking at the wires (impulse senders) that come down to plug into the coils. Unless I am reading it wrong there are $150 EACH! I thought it was for a set of 6.

dcompress,

Yeah, $150 per wire sounds about right. When I had a 924 I had it in for service and the mechanic told me I might want to think about changing the wires. I asked how much, he said "$150" I thought "that's not bad for all four" then he said - "Each" !

That is insane. $900 to swap out wires on Boxster! Another $300 if you want to do coils as well. I guess I just can't see why the wire is 3x the coil price. I would think it would be the other way around.

Is it nessecary to replace those wires for any other reason other than the clip breaking?

Does the insolation and conductivity degrade over time and useage?
