you guys are amateurs! I was in your "silly" little club until Monday of last week *blech*

Had I installed my BHR coils and new plugs when I received them last year rather than procrastinate all year I might still be in your club!

Is the BHR better than the stock one on the S2?

If I hadn't fitted a turbo and blown an engine etc etc I would be in this club but alas alack .....

When it has happened it's never been more than a 10 second fix though ....

This is a great thread and just shows that most of the time we only hear from folks who have problems and therefore the perception is much worse then the reality!

Never flooded, but never really tried.
When I move the car, I wait for the 5k light to go out.
It's still too new for any other cause to've reared its head, I think.
