Coil Pack Replacement - S40 S40-V40

I thank the guys who helped me out on the windshield washer fluid reservoir and possible fixes.

Suddenly yesterday the engine started misfiring, then would smooth out, more smooth than anything, so I started looking into it. My little OBD reader signaled a misfire on one of the two coil packs, so my first question is does the 2003 S40 have a ignition coil pack that is unique to that year?

I took at to a shop this morning and was quoted a huge amount of money, and they had about 7 things that they "wanted" to replace and I saw their point, but I am not in a position to do the whole list, I just want to make the car more drivable by correcting what I thought to be defective, and my OBD matched with theirs.

Has anybody done this job? On an S40 of that year, 2003 that my erstwhile shop said was unique to the year. He has retired so I was looking for a new garage. They were flagging entirely too many repair items for my taste. I want one of two coil packs replaced, not a bunch of other stuff. I am told it was not a difficult job anyway!

Can anyone help?

Doug
