Instructions for Installing Ignition Coils

Model: Vauxhall Astra Astra G - Years 1998-2006
Part: Ignition coil

On this model of car, the ignition leads and coils are not separate but integrated into a single unit located right at the top of the engine, just under the cover displaying the OPEL logo and the ECOTECH inscription. Start by removing the cover (to do this, you need to unscrew the oil filler cap), replace the oil cap to prevent dirt from entering, and unscrew the fixing screws of the coil pack. Disconnect the side connector and remove it. Then proceed in reverse order for the installation of the new coil pack.
