I seem to have a problem with the ignition coil on my '90 240 wagon. The coil wire won't stay seated, and in looking down into the coil, it looks damaged.

I was shocked, however, when my local parts house quoted $110.00 for a coil. I hate to be cheap, but that's more than 1/8 of what I paid for the car (although it's a fine, strong running 240). I can't seem to find an alternative; is there one?

 

They are only $50 from this place http://catalog.worldpac.com/ibusines...=Ignition+Coil

Am I the only one who shopsthe junkyards? My local Pick and Pull I bet you could get one for less than 5 bucks. Not a big gamble really. Dave

 

Good point Daver80, I forget myself even though I spend waaay to much time at the one off Moreland Ave. I need to spend some more time there probably next weekend to get some bolts and other misc. stuff for my 240.

 

I don't wanna take a chance. I purchased a volvo ignition coil online and installed it myself.

 

NO!! my local discount place quoted me 32 bucks for a new one..
