DIS Pack (Read 2795 times)

cipher Junior Member Offline Posts: 167 Derby Gender:	DIS Pack 31. Jul 2006 at 13:33 Well, I got my DIS pack. Just need to fit it now, any ideas what tools i need, as I have a feeling that it going to be held on with the E-Torx bolts that Vx seem to favor. I understand the practicalities of them for automotive specific torque applications, but they are pain, especially when I dont have any E-Torx sockets!

Jul 2006 at 17:05 Laser Tools have something interesting called Alldrive, which is supposed to fit both hex and Torx bolts, e.g.: This seem to make sense - assuming it actually works. Has anyone tried it? The full Alldrive product catalogue can be found at: http://www.lasertools.co.uk/tools.aspx?cat=247

Markjay Omega Lord Offline Posts: 5452 London Gender:	Re: DIS Pack Reply #6 - 31. Jul 2006 at 18:04 Hmmm... good to know. I bought two separate Draper Expert sets before I heard of the Alldrive, so now I know I didn't miss out on anything...

Although, some laser tools are very good. I have a long reach plug spanner, that is very useful, it has a magnetic end, so I dont drop the plug, and I dont leave the rubber guide behind on the end of the plug when fitting.

Aug 2006 at 08:23 AA, if your's a 2.2, I think you may have a 4-coil pack strip seating directly on top of the spark plugs (similar to the 2.6 and 3.2), in which case there is no DIS pack and no HT leads. It should look similar to this:
