So, just like many of you, I experiencing issues with my coil packs. Stuttering, misfire, etc. So what are the OEM replacement numbers for the coil packs? I don't want to buy after-market parts. The Honda dealership wants to charge $120/ea...that seems over priced.

Here's what I think the OEM part numbers are.

1. 30520-PWC-003 (old OE part replaced by 30520-PWC-S01) - This seems like a bad choice since Honday replaced it with a different part number.
2. 30520-PWC-S01 (new OE part) - Is this part made by HITACHI? The best price I can find is $70/ea
3. HITACHI Part # IGC0053 - someone said on another forum that this is also an OE part, but I have not found any other confirmation or evidence of this fact. It sells at RockAuto for $53.

Please let me know if any of you have information on this topic....especially if you know anything about the HITACHI part IGC0053.

Thanks!
Jeff

 

Tagging for interest/me finding the numbers I had when I'm back at the shop

 

I found a 4th part that claims to be OEM. IGC0001 looks like another Hitachi part.
Here's an image of this part.

So, I wonder if IGC0001 and IGC0053 are the same parts as 30520-pwc-s01 and 30520-pwc-003 respectively. Hmmm...if so, then 1 of the IGC#### parts is probably the old OE part, which would be a bad purchase IMHO.

Does anyone out there have the real story behind all this?

 

Another update...
I found an online Hitachi parts catalog at here.

It shows that Hitachi part IGC0001 is NOT replacement for 30520-PWC-003 or 30520-PWC-S01.

However, the Hitachi catalog does show that IGC0053 IS a replacement for 30520-PWC-S01 (the new OE part).

I think that IGC0053 and 30520-PWC-S01 are both made by Hitachi and are the same exact OEM part, but I haven't been able to prove this yet. On page 3 of the parts catalog it seems to suggest that they are the OE manufacture, but not directly.

From page 3 of the Hitachi Catalog...
Does that mean that IGC0053 and 30520-PWC-S01 are the same exact OE part?

Anyone out there know for sure?

 

I've done all the research on this i can stand to do at this point. I believe that the Hitachi Part IGC0053 and the Honda part 30520-PWC-S01 are the exact same part. Honda gets the IGC0053 part from Hitachi, brands it as their own, gives it the part number 30520-PWC-S01, and sells it for twice as much. You can buy IGC0053 from RockAuto.com (or somewhere else) for $53 or buy the same part from Honda for $100+. So, you can by 4 from Honda at $400 or by 4 for $212.

 

A lot of "parts" on Honda vehicles are not made by Honda but other vendors like your coilpacks, alternators, water pumps brake calipers etc. it's a common practice among all car manufacturers.

Good work on your search let us know how they work out.

 

I'd get the ones off of rockauto. Most of those parts are just parts that were made for OEM, but when unbranded becomes those rockauto parts. I've ordered wheel bearings from them and they are much cheaper and exactly the same. Some people buy just the boots for the coilpacks, not sure if that works. I'd just buy the whole set altogether.

 

I was searching part numbers at work the other day just because I want to be ready in case my coil packs shit the fan too. Only manufacturers that came up were Hitachi and Ultra8. I'll get you the part numbers on Sunday.

 

Forgot to mention. When I bought the wheel bearings, it was from Beck/Arnley. The coil packs should be oem just repackaged.
More Information for BECK/ARNLEY 1788374

 

So the numbers I've found at work were:

Ultra8: 1415150
Hitachi: 1415150H
BWD: E1081

 

Great cost saving information! Should be a sticky!

 

Just put 4 of the Hitachi #IGC0053 on my 07 Fit a month ago. Exact match to OEM except for the blue colored tips. They've been working great for the last 4,000 miles.

 

What's wrong with after market parts? (this coming from a guy who never has done this or installed any parts on his car...so I know nothing! )

 

Hey guys, is there a difference in quality on denso vs the hitachi? I'm new to this and researching what I can.

Recently replaced 1 coil with one from O'reilly. I saw a drop in mileage. I did have 16" rotas and put the stocks back on to see if I can get my 300mi/tank again.

 

I've been running with the Hatachi coil packs and the OEM NGK iridium plugs since i fixed the issue that started this thread. I recommend anyone replacing plugs and/or coil packs do the same. My experience painfully proved that the aftermarket products did not work very well on the Honda Fit.

 

Hey jeffdrobinson,

Out of curiousity, what's the mileage on your fit and your mpg? I'm just trying to increase my mpg. I have about 180k so I'm trying to do it the best way possible on a reasonable budget.

 

Im curious if the denso #6732308 would be the more logical choice since honda has a track record with them in the past as opposed to the hitachi?

 

Thanks for this info, my car hesitates and stutters after 5000 RPM...replaced that O2 sensor and that improved the idle and slightly the hesitation but its still there. Going to try the EGR Valve cleaning and then the plugs and coilpacks. Thanks again.

 

devmail,

Remove the coil packs, and take the rubber boot off and look at the spring, fuse and the metal ignitor on the coil side. If there are all majorly corroded, then the hesitation is caused by the coil packs. You can try cleaning the spring, fuse, and the ignitor with a really small wire brush to see if it helps too. I did the same with mine with an electric spray cleaner and a small wire wheel, it helped. But I'm not sure how long it will last, so I ordered a new hitachi set anyway.

 

Well all my problems appear to be solved. The prev owner mistakenly put an auto ecu in the car and had been using that. I bought a 5 spd ecu and had it programmed and now my idle surging and hesitation at 5000 rpm is gone! I can finally get to the redline, tho I must say I am disappointed to find not that much more power there...lol.
