I was hearing a "ticking" sound coming from the drivers side of the car which I thought I should have checked out so I headed down to Camden GTI... seems there was THREE nails in the tyre.
No problems, the tyre guy in the complex had that sorted out right quick...
Then as the guy reverses the VR6 out it sounds a little funny...
Seems the coil pack has just shat itself too
A few more dollars down and a new one should be in by this afternoon.
Convenient timing? Better today than half way to Melbourne on Saturday I suppose.

Ahh the dreaded coil pack's.
As you said though, at least it happened now and not half way to melbourne.

After all that, the new coil pack is in and it's running wonderfully... but the ticking was still there... on closer inspection it seems there was a large rock caught in one of the tyres
Still, it's good to have everything working right before the trip
