[s-cars] Another 1.8t coil pack conversion failure (if any) question

[forgied at direct.ca]

IF you had a 1.8t 115L coilpack  failure, please let us (me) know which
cylinder (1 is at the front, 5 is at the back) and which way the coil pack
plug was facing(NE, SE, SW if the front of the car is N and the back is
S).

I am wondering whether No. 5 is prone to failure when it is in the SE or
SW configuration (mine faces NE and the wiring loops around to the S).  It
could be that when No. 5 is pointed SW or SE , there is too much heat
trapped around the coil pack head, and/or the coil pack head is in contact
with the cam cover, leading to too much heat in the coil pack head,
killing it prematurely.

Its just an earlier theory based on two results:  Marc Swanson and Corey
over on the S2 forum (who is a 034Motorsports dealer and purposely ran his
Javad's plug and play UNDER the OE coil pack cover to see how long the
coil packs would last - about 7000 miles and then No. 5 died.

This is why the factory has an R&D dept.
