I recently had a 60,000 km service, which indicated a number of replacements required. The major one was the timing belt and all associated pulleys/cams. and water pump.
The items were replaced and the next day the car would not start, I was informed by an independant mechanic that it was not the battery. It was towed back to the garage and the investigation showed that 2 of the ignition coils need to be replaced. Are these 2 items (ignition coils and timing belt) connected? Or was it just coincedence?
And do I need to have all 4 ignition coils replaced as advised?
Thank you.
