Used coil packs vary between vehicles - and whether you call it used, second hand or a replacement, matching the right one matters. These are the details breakers need to match the right part to your car - our request form asks them so you only hear from suppliers with the correct part:
Only some 306 engines use a coil pack — specifically the petrol engines that use distributor-less ignition, such as certain 1.6 and 2.0 litre petrol units. Diesel 306s (HDi and XUD variants) do not use a coil pack at all, as they are compression-ignition engines that don't require spark ignition. If you have a diesel 306 and are chasing an ignition fault, you'll want to be looking at glow plugs instead. Check your V5 or run a VIN check to confirm your exact engine code before searching.
The 306 ran from 1993 to 2002, with a significant facelift in 1997 that updated the bodywork and saw some engine and ancillary changes alongside it. The engine code is the critical detail — if your later 306 shares the same engine code as an earlier car, the coil pack is very likely to be the same unit, but whether mounting or connector arrangements changed across that 1997 facelift boundary is something you should confirm with the breaker against your specific registration. Always quote your engine code (found on your V5 or via a VIN check) when asking for a quote.
Trim level makes no difference to coil pack fitment on the 306 — the coil pack follows the engine, not the badge. An XSi and a base-spec 306 running the same engine code will use the same coil pack, even though the XSi sits higher in the range. Focus entirely on your engine code rather than your trim name when sourcing a used unit from a breaker.
No — diesel engines, whether the older XUD or the later HDi units fitted to the 306, do not have spark ignition and therefore do not use a coil pack at all. If you're experiencing a no-start or misfiring issue on a diesel 306, glow plugs, fuel injectors, or the fuel system are much more likely culprits. A breaker will be able to help you identify the correct part once you confirm your engine code.
The engine code is the single most useful detail you can supply when quoting for a coil pack — it tells the breaker exactly which ignition system your car uses, far more reliably than the year or trim alone. You'll find the engine code on your V5 logbook or through a HPI or DVLA VIN check. When contacting dismantlers through Findapart, lead with this code and your registration to get the most accurate match. Don't rely solely on the year or body style, as different engines were offered across the same model year.
