I've had my H6 for about a month now...decided to do some maintenance and the CEL light is on (it's the cats, see my previous thread).

At 120k miles and not much vehicle history, I decided to change the spark plugs, wires and PCV valve this weekend.

I ordered the parts from partsgeek, but when I opened the box with the "wires" all that was in the box were 6 plastic pieces, they look like the boots only, and some springs. Am I missing the wires, or is that all there is?

I have peaty's write up saved for changing the plugs on the 3.0, but think I know now why nobody mentions changing the wires! I guess I assumed at $60 a set I would receive the coil, wires, etc. .

Thanks in advance for any input!

Coil on plug design.

souds like you got just the boots for the coil-packs.

or you paid a huge amount of money for the 6 packs.




do they look like this entire thing or just the 'snout' part? ;

Thanks,

I only received the red "snout" portion, not the coil packs.

Should I even bother replacing them?

Now I get it!

I ordered the parts on my lunch break to make sure they would be shipped before the weekend...should have paid more attention/been better prepared.

Now that I look at the website again I see the picture of spark plugs says "not vehicle specific" and it clearly states coil on plug boots.

Thanks again for the help!

if they weren't expensive, you could just keep them and replace. Might not be worth the postage to return. Your call. Mine were is good shape and I had no problem re-using the entire original coilpacks. I suspect most people re-use them as-is.
