[QUOTE="deepblueE34, post: 748286, member: 25014"] Hello all, I wanted to ask for opinions here. Last year I bought 6 bremi coils from one of the largest (if not the largest) bmw parts supplier in KL. Mind you, I have been a regular at this place. Less than six months after installing them, one of them failed. It just stopped firing after the car reaches its running temperature. I swapped it with a 20 year old botsch coil I had and the problem went away. Checked the boot and it's good, so the coil is definitely bad. I thought what the heck! this should last at least a year. Any hoo, I emailed bremi (germany) and they asked me to take the coil back to the supplier I bought it from. When I went back to the supplier, they said they don't do returns and [B]their[/B] supplier won't take it back. I, again, emailed the after-sales guy in bremi and he said they only do returns through their distributors. The coil and boot cost me around RM160. It's not that big a deal (hoping the other five won't fail like this one). But I what do you think? Is the parts shop here being reasonable? or should they help me get the coil changed? [/QUOTE]
