toyo rob Posted September 17, 2004 Share Posted September 17, 2004 just had the coil and plugs checked on my car, but when taking the connectors off the bloo*y plastic clips disintergrated in my fingers. i dont suppose anyone know what and/or how i combat this? is it a case of just buy new catches? or is it more involved cheers Rob S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richardharmon Posted September 18, 2004 Share Posted September 18, 2004 Ha, yes, I know what you mean! The reason your local friendly Toyota dealer can’t find them is they come up as condensers on the system; don’t ask me why! You can buy the entire plug shell (excluding pins), I do have the part number somewhere but I wont be able to dig it out until Tuesday, hopefully someone else will be along with it before then. To change the shells, just break the old ones away (mine were so brittle they just fell apart), being careful not to damage the pins, that leaves you with two pins connected to the wires on the loom. Insert the pins into the new plug shells and push down the retainer clips. Be sure to make a note of which way round the pins are inserted in the old plug shells, I don’t know if it makes a difference. One word of warning, if you have bits of broken plastic floating about around the spark plug holes *make damn sure* you get them all out before removing the plugs, I dropped a piece into the cylinder and didn’t notice until I started the car, bye bye no.1 turbo!

richardharmon Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 Here is the part number: 90980-11246 Whatever the dealer says it is, order this and you should end up with what you want. As I said, it came up as a condenser when I ordered mine. This part number is for one housing only, so you'll need six (maybe obvious).
