Default Anyone know about how long coilpacks last on a 2.7t

I have an 02 2.7t and she seems to have lost a bit of power and I was looking replace the coil packs and plugs next weekend. I am wondering if its necessary to change the coil packs. I replaced them last year.

Default FWIW, I believe the push down type are less robust than the earlier bolt-down type

I've already had to replace 4 on my 03 (the push down type)

Default I doubt it, but not sure - push down were for BEL motor... different valve covers, at least...

Maybe the rest is interop, but again, not sure.

I like the new sig, BTW!

Default change the CPs only when they die..CEL Flashing.

Don't waste your money until. Carry a spare or two is a good idea. I've lost one at 35K, two more at 75K, another at 105K and the last at 150K.

Now at 170K and none have faulted.
