I have beeen replacing the mini coils on my '96 965 as they stop working. I have a problem with the replacements. The wire mounts come out at a different angle making it tough to attach the wires. Has anybody else ran into this problem? I'm unable to post picture.

    If the connector is on the opposite side the coil can be rotated 180 degrees, there are threaded holes on the opposite side to allow this.
    Are they Volvo OEM coils?

      They are OEM Volvo coils, front cyclinders (1 & 2 ?) the wire are a exact fit to the old coil angles, new coils are about 5 deg different. They can be turned around, old style had 2 flanges, new only has one. The problem is the wire won't reach. I can e-mail you pictures, file to big to post.

        If the wire harness comes up a bit short you may be able to pull a small amount of the harness through the rubber grommet where it enters at the rear, I am sure there will be some slack.

        What about using the new coils down at the rear where there may be more wire slack and using 2 from the back on #1 and 2.

        Send me a pic by email.

          I'll try to find some slack, already moved the coils around. I have had 3 go bad at 176000 I sure the others are not far behind. The only problem is the 2 front cyclinders. Still cannot post pictures, file to big, I try again this weekend.

          BTW changing plugs on this car is a no-brainer.

    Any help here? I have to replace the 2 front coils and the wires won't reach. New coils come out at a different angle.
