2013 Coil Packs, where did you guys get them from?
 

I need to replace a 2013-2014 coilpack due to the 351 code, and I was just wondering if any of you guys got yours from a reputable online retailer for a good price. My local dealership isn't very good and I don't want to give them my business if I can help it. Thanks

So using the part numbers which are 22433AA652 (if you use subarus designation) or the toyota designation which is SU003-04670 the lowest price I could find was on ebay:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Genuine-Sub...Jah9RL&vxp=mtr

or on a dealer site that I used for parts:
https://parts.conicellitoyotaofconsh...PWxheWVyXzQ%3D

You can shop around using the parts numbers for lower prices but thats the lower ones I could find. They seemed to be priced around $80-$100 online and the shipping prices are all over the place it seems.

Oh, if you just need one, I'd suggest you just get it from your dealer, then you will know it will be like the other three and most likely cheaper.

Sometimes, being stubborn is not a good trait...... ;)

Also if you show a dealer an online price from another dealer, they will likely offer to price match for you in person.

I went to Ebay and got a couple used ones. They're lying around in the car for when they go out on track days (and one did... replaced at the track in about 90 min).

No, every time I comparison shop parts at my local dealer vs. a dealer in Florida or Michigan it's always cheaper to ship it across the country.

ymmv

Check the parts list and get the highest number part that works for your vehicle put the part number into google and buy from the Subaru or Toyota dealer that has the cheapest listing (don't forget to check shipping). It'll arrive in a few days in a sealed 'official Subaru/Toyota' parts bag. Nothing bad will happen driving around on a dying coilpack as long as you're not driving it hard.

I was just looking for these. I found the Subaru ones for around $75 but don't have the site saved. Subarugenuineparts.com has an oem catalog that is usually cheap

The OP is from NC ....... not the ritzy, high cost of living area, like the Bay area ...... :D

Might've been a few decades since you've been out that way, some parts of NC are nicer than anything in SF proper imho, much less the crap places I can afford.

Well, it's been a few years since I've been to NC ...... but, I can't imagine the scenery has changed much ....... :iono:

Ha, yeah I'm from one of the more expensive parts of the state...hell... region... got quoted $121 from the local dealer and about $30 cheaper from one three hours away. Should be on my step by Friday. And I've been driving on the dying coilpack for a solid too long now. Even got a CEL on fourth gear deceleration last weekend. I live in the heart of the mountains now, everyday is "driving hard" (unfortunately for my coilpacks)

Although having been across the country a few times now, I definitely wouldn't compare SF to NC. West coast beats east coast by leaps and bounds in most categories lol

You’re definitely going to have to elaborate on how you replaced a coil in 90 mins haha I’m very curious. I have a CEL for a shot coil and I have a replacement lying around but am too intimidated to attempt. I read on here you need to lift the engine up.

Well... My check engine light turned on for the first time.... Dang!

Ordered the coil.


How hard is this thing to install? Any insight would be appreciated. Is there a DIY?

#1 is the right front, not too bad imho.

tl;dr follow spark plug replacement DIY, don't touch the spark plugs

Get access, disconnect coilpack harness, remove 1 bolt, replace coilpack, install 1 bolt, connect harness, bolt everything else up.

$82.46 on subaruonlineparts.com. I've used them without issue for parts.

That is a little better than the Ebay link earlier in the thread. I clicked it and paid $86.16 with free shipping. Thanks for the input.

All coils are the same? No matter which position?

Yes.

Thank you for the information. I will be installing the coil pack this afternoon. :thanks:


I was stoked it was at the post office just now!!!!

Pls tell me if you needed to raise the engine

I have been reading the info that Strat61caster suggested and any other info I have come across.


I do not believe that it is 100% necessary to get the coil pack installed. (or to remove and install new spark plugs)


I will take a few pics later today during the install and update this thread with my experience. Thank you!

I started by removing the three 10mm bolts that hold the fuse box in and moving it back an inch or two. Then I removed the three 10mm bolts that attach the Denso injector computer, or I think thats what it is. Anyway it has to be moved too because coil pack number one is under it. A standard 10 mm wrench and socket will loosen it but then I needed to make a special tool to get the bolt all the way out.

"Special tool" damn it's special alright!!:iono:

I could spin the socket with my fingers, once it was loose, and without dropping it cuz it was taped to the screwdriver. I'm sure there are other ways of doing this it's just what I came up with in one minute.

I unplug the old coil pack anf plug the new one in. Then I loosely taped the bolt to my socket so that I wouldn't drop it.
Then I tightened it finger tight and the final turn with the wrench.

I put all the bolts back and started the car. Success!!! No check engine light and the whole process took me about 40 minutes.

Nice mate. And that was the worst side right?

Nope. It was the easy side. Sorry.
