Cerbera AJP 4.5 plug lead connections

[wurgle]

Hello all,

I was looking for the AJP 4.5 plug lead connections and could only find the AJP 4.2. When I came to swap the leads I found that the even pack was rotated 180 degrees so it was the same way round as the odd pack with the low tension connector on the right hand side. However... it seems that not only is it mounted the other way but plugs 2 and 8 are swapped over? Am I going potty?

As an aside I removed
- the wiper washer tube connection and the cover panel
- the air boxes from the inlet tubes
- the silicon air intake hoses from 5, 6, 7 & 8 (mine having the long hoses)
- the metal strap over the top between 5/7 & 6/8

This gave me enough access to swap the leads - is this about right? What would one need to remove to change a coil pack, it looks like a bit of a nightmare?

Hi Wurgle,

I faced this "interesting" task last year.
I was bricking it BUT just like all Cerb problems
all you have to do is keep going and it is pretty straight forward.

Here is my story

As you will see there are many contrasting approaches
BUT
I would recommend taking the fuel rail off and giving yourself some chance of access.

I had a pic of me levering the fuel rail off with a MoFu Crowbar somewhere.
I will try and find it for you.

Please don't hesitate to ask.

(Oh, and go for the smaller of the O-rings mentioned)

Wasted spark means you can swap some connections

But it does make more sense if the coil packs are fitted the opposite way round, that way the loom routes more logically

If you can do it without removing the fuel rail then do so other wise your best off replacing the o rings on the fuel injectors. It is doable leaving the fuel rail in place. Mark up the coil packs before putting them in marker pen or paint pen.
