NEW NGK plugs & Delphi coils for Mini Cooper R56

Category: Drivetrain
Price: $100
Private or Vendor Listing: Private Listing
Part fits (you may select multiples): R56
Location (Region): NorCal
Item Condition: Brand New



Long story short - thought I had a bad plug or coil, but ultimately ended up being a blown engine. Sold Mini and now have these left to sell. They were installed once, but removed immediately after discovering the bad engine. Also including a spark plug socket and gapper.

I paid nearly $200 for everything after tax. Yours for $100 shipped.

Not sure if they're considered OEM, but mini owners give good reviews.

The Delphi version has a better rubber tube protection compared to the OEM Bosch ones. On my BMW 3-series, Bosch OEM coils has been superseded by the Depphi brand. I put them on my BMW and they work great. The only issue I had with Delphi coils is those upgraded tubular rubber seals has such a strong seal it created strong vacuum when I tried to pull it out to change out spark plugs. And on 3 out of 6 Delphi coils, the rubber tubing came off the coil itself, I ended up pulling the coil pack out leaving the tubing and spring inside on the spark plug. I did try many hours to fish out those parts, but they are really burned onto the plugs. I ended up putting small dabs of JB-wled on the coil pack where the rubber tubes attach and put the coil back in for a couple of hours, then upon pulling again, I managed to pull everything out in 1-piece and saved the day. Ever since the JB-weld, no issues whatsoever with these Delphi coils. They work great just like the factory ones.

Note: I bought my Delphi coils from Ebay, a bit cheaper than what I'd spend in Amazon, so I could have gotten the lowest quality parts, but still somehow survived out of that ordeal.

I have Delphi coils on my 09 JCW with no issues....I can remove them with no issues. Didn't know about the better rubber bits....

My 2012 CMS came with Delphi coils not Bosch. Are those plugs 1422’s?
