Someone on a different thread posted that he recently replaced his ignition coils, and the new coils had two grey dots. I did the same job last week, but my coils each had one dot. I'm afraid to ask, but did I just install coils that will give me a problem in a few years?

The replacements I got from DAVEB had 1 grey dot on each coil... these are the updated type. Not sure what the 2-grey-dot ones are, maybe they're also an updated type?

Coils I used had an updated part number but no dots

Just for clarity could someone please post the updated coil part #s? Had mine replaced but didn't check the dots...

FYI: As some others have reported Nissan reduced their prices on these coils too...$450 CDN installed.

ok Rich, I had to put down my glass of cab to go in the garage and check the part numbers on the box. The part numbers are 22448-2Y001 and 22448-2Y006. The originals ended with 0 and 5. Although,, as I said, I still don't know if these are the fixed versions or not.

Hmm, I have 22448-2Y000's and 05's with a gray dot on them in Nissan boxes....do I have the old ones, or since they have the gray dot are they the updated ones? Will I be helping anything by installing these?? I purchased them from an .org member, and will be pi$$ed if they are not what was advertised (updated coils).

I think you're safe if they have the dot on them. The newer numbers may have not come out until later. I had one replaced at the dealer and it had the dot on it. The ones I bought without dots came from ebay so I have no idea if they are the updated ones or not. I wonder if Dave B. could help us here.

Thanks cab for the effort! I had to put my drink down too and go to the garage in the rain for this but...I totally forgot I had the P/N on the service invoice.

Checking my service invoice they have the part numbers as:

3 Coils P/N 22448-2Y001 $101.67 CDN + tax
3 Coils P/N 22448-2Y006 $95.25 CDN + tax

2 hours of labour - $172 CDN + tax
1 for the diagnostic BS, 1 for replacing

The official rundown on coils:

22448-2Y000/5= 2000 Maxima
22448-2Y001/6= 2001 Maxima

All updated 2Y000/5s have the dot. All the 2Y001/6s I have seen do NOT have the dot. Getting "old style" 2000 coils would be extremely unlikely- They were on back-order for like 4 months back in 2001, then Nissan came out with the new ones.

Awesome, thanks for the clarification Dave!

Thanks for the help Dave. Can't the 2001 coils also be used on the 2000 Maxima?

Yep, but not "offficially"
