Is this an XSI thing an Australian thing or just a phase 3 thing.

How do you remove the coil packs? or do i need to remove the brake fluid reservoir?

or use an Allen key bit in combination with a ratchet spanner or open ended spanner. A bit of a faff but can be done easily enough

Cover should get past the master cylinder without having to remove it. XSi engine looks slightly different but should still wiggle off to reveal coil packs.

Probably, yea. I remember having the same problem before which is why I don't bother running a cover anymore.

Isn't xsi 1 twin coil running wasted spark joined all together? But yes remove the strut brace first or no chance on an xsi.
