Replacement of Car Coil

Model: Citroen C3 FC, FN - Years 2002-2009
Part: Ignition coil

The coil is one of the essential components of your car. It serves to step down the battery voltage from the battery volts to the volts required by the spark plug to create the spark. One of the most common symptoms of a faulty coil is the car running unevenly, failing to regulate the developed voltage. To replace it, open the bonnet of your car and disconnect, one at a time, the leads covering the spark plugs. Once you have confirmed that the problem lies with the coil, replace it and purchase a new one from your trusted dealer, ensuring you bring the vehicle registration document with you. Absolutely avoid buying used coils.
