    The machines at the dealer swirl up the car, so while it stays over there no wash.

    Re: Coil Pack Failure

    I'm not sure if this is what causes EVERY case, but mine failed the first day I bought my CPO. The dealer had detailed the car and the oil (or whatever dressing) they used to spiff up the look of my engine blew a set. From what it sounded like, this wasn't a first for their detailer.

    Again, not sure what causes it in so many cars, but be careful when washing or detailing the engine bay.

    I might win for the quickest...

    32 hours of ownership and less than 150 miles on the odo - had one fail. The faces on everyone at the dealership when the car was brought back on a flatbed were priceless
