HELP!!!!! Coil Pack Mounting bolt snapped off
So I was changing my plugs this morning in an 05x, and I got to the drivers side rear plug, closest to the firewall.
As I was taking the bolt loose, it snapped off and half the screw was still down inside the threads. After a couple hours or trying to drill the screw out, I was unsuccessful and ruined the brass threads the bolt should have screwed into.
The coil pack sits down in how it should fine, but is a bit looser than I would like. There is a metal bracket for all the wiring that sits over top of it, but not close enough to put pressure on the coil pack and hold it in place.
Couple questions:
What is the black "headcover" piece called, if I wanted to buy a new one or get used?
Is it safe to drive? I started it up and it runs fine, not chugging or missing at all.
Or, should i just jam something between the metal bracket and the top of the coil pack to hold it in place.......... actually kidding![Smilie](https://g35driver.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
If I drive it for a few days or at least to drop it off at the dealer tomorrow is there a risk of fire? The last thing I need it for it to catch fire.
Please help!!!!!!!
