zcacogp Posted September 17, 2021 Report Share Posted September 17, 2021 Quickie: - What's the change interval on spark plugs on a 987.1 2.7? - What's the change interval on coil packs on a 987.1 2.7? - If a coil pack is failing and there is a (very faint and occasional) misfire then will it always throw a fault code, or is it possible to mis-fire slightly without a fault code?

edc Posted September 17, 2021 Report Share Posted September 17, 2021 The coil packs aren't part of a normal service so are change as needed when damaged. https://www.revolution-porsche.co.uk/faq/boxster-spark-plugs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul P Posted September 17, 2021 Report Share Posted September 17, 2021 I think 4 years for plugs and I believe it’s possible for an odd misfire to happen without throwing a light. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! Hi, In the for sale section I have a set of 6 new Bosch spark plugs and used BERU coil packs. The coil packs were changed because I couldn’t find when they had been changed before but are in excellent condition if you’re interested.

sa utah Posted September 18, 2021 Report Share Posted September 18, 2021 If you search my previous posts you’ll find a link to some BERU Cali packs which were a great price. i just did all of mine instead of doing one here one there etc. If you’re in there doing the spark plugs I’d just fit new coil packs. Zero worries and a job ticked off the list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zcacogp Posted September 19, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2021 Guys, Thanks for the answers. My 987.1 2.7 does occasionally hesitate slightly and I now that the coils and plugs haven't been done for a while (a while? Not since I bought the car and probably a couple of years before that) and I wonder whether there may be a bit more pep available if I was to replace some bits. I think that I have some plugs that I bought when I bought the car so fitting them goes on the list, the question is whether to splash out on some coils as well. Given the price of them I am inclined to just change the plugs and see what difference that makes. If it's still not quite 100% then I'll go for the coils as well. I take the point about it being easier to do them all at once but given that time is free but coil packs aren't then I'll probably just try the plugs in the first instance. sa Utah - you refer to BERU Cali packs. Are Cali packs a specific thing, or is this a typo of 'coil pack'? Thanks all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
