Ok my neighbour came round to ask me a question today.
She has an 03 Primera with 98k on the clock (Has had it since new)
First up..
She took it in to the local nissan dealer, because the engine fault light came on.
Oil Change and Plugs came to $300 but the warning light was still on.
When she asked why it was on she was told she had a faulty ignition coil and she could
either a) Replace all 4 coils at $260each + GST + Labour They would have to replace all 4 coils as they cant test them to see which one is faulty
Cut the wire to the warning light
She has poor english and I am concerned they are shafting her.
My questions are?
1) Do you need to replace all 4 coils? or can you keep exchanging them until the warning light goes out (work out what one is the faulty one by elimination
2) is $260 + GST the expected part per coil
3) do the ignition coil modules just unplug? Ie can I buy them and swap them for her.
Her husband is very unwell and she has a lot on her plate and if I can help her out I would like to.
Cheers
Glenn
