    Tell me this is easy to replace...

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    So I was cleaning my engine with a damp cloth and wanted to get the dirt built up under the coilpack plugs. I didn't take the coil packs off but I did try to remove the plugs out of all 4 of them so that I can clean under there. Here is what happened.





    If you look closely at the picture, the top plug there has a broken clip. I broke it trying to get it out. You can see the broken piece on the right, on top of the valve cover. So am I screwed if I want to replace this plug? I mean...I think I'm ok in the aspect that the plug is very snug when I put it in and the screws will hold them also. Please let me know what my options are if I want to replace it and is it going to be expensive? I'm just really anal about my car being the way it should be.

    Also, here is another picture of that wire/plug piece for the coils. When I bought the car, this was cracked already. Can I replace this as well?





    Thanks in advance guys. I've had my car for 2 weeks and I've been on audizine for 4 weeks....lol...I've been loving it so far. Thanks

    I think all the clips were broken on mine when I got the damn car... they fit snug and they won't come loose.

    You shouldn't drive your car like that. It's extremely dangerous and you might start leaking blinker fluid like crazy. Also, you might have to replace one or both of your transmissions.

    Should be fine, I would wrap some electrical tape around it or some heat shrink just to be sure. If it really bothers you go to the dealership and ask them how much it is for the part.
