Changing the coil pack and spark plugs on the Vauxhall 1.4 ecotec engine

Today is Saturday . On Monday , I bought a Vauxhall as it should be more economical than my other cars. This is necessary because soon I’ll be driving 170 miles a day for work.
This car is fitted with the 1.4 ecotec engine. On Friday, I had to drive to Gatwick . Previously I’d only driven about 150 miles.
About 25 miles from Gatwick , on the M25, the engine check light came on. Immediately it was obvious there was less power. The car stumbled and hesitated, and acceleration was very difficult. Nevertheless , I got there and indeed back home, although it was a very stressful journey .
When I got home, I used my diagnostic equipment, which basically led me to conclude that the coil pack was bad. This is a very well known issue with this and other similar Vauxhall engines.
This is how to replace the coil pack and spark plugs.
Watch along and you’ll find out how to do it yourself.

Is the vectors the same do you think?

I’ve had no problems with my corsa and I’ve done more than 100,000 miles. Good to know though

[@jokeroyuncu4161]

Opel see to have poor build quality don’t they?

[@Beratncr1]

Vauxhall coils are the worst!

Low mileage and problems. Typical build quality.
