they are all the same age so if one has failed i would expect them all to be getting old and replace them all especially seeing as they are not that expensive

I'd only replace the broken ones, €70 is not really cheap, €280 is even more :shock:
It's an easy job so that's not a problem.

I had a spark plug lead (ignition coil) breakdown and so it ran on only 3 cylinders until the fault was diagnosed. Since then it has been running very well.
However since the lead changes the car has been developing a similar problem (intermittent) as before. Although the sparks were changed at the same time the car sometimes losses power, sounds like a boxer engine and then runs okay again. Very Odd. Can anybody shed any light if this is common problem, if the leads/ignition coil are unreliable, distributor problems, injectors etc.

I ask my mechanic and he said that maybe the ignition module killing the coils

There are 2 modules how can i know which one connect to which coils?

Check the schematics, if you have them.

I checked it, it's not the module (the 2 coil that broke down connected to different coil)
one module connect to the coils on cylinder 1 and 3
and one module connect to the coils on cylinder 2 and 4

I replaced the spark plugs, hope it will be ok

Ok.
I've heard this before, if one dies chances are another one follows rapidly.
But I only replace them when they are really broken.

Balong,

Clean the contacts on the ignition modules first...if problem still persists, then it could be one of coils which are almost dead...tony has some spare coils to sell...
