How long does it take to replace the ignition coil of the Verna?
3 Answers
It takes about 30 minutes to replace the ignition coil of the Verna. The core components of the ignition system are the ignition coil and the switching device. By increasing the energy of the ignition coil, the spark plug can generate sparks with sufficient energy, allowing the ignition system to meet the basic operating conditions of modern engines. The ignition coil consists of two sets of windings: the primary coil and the secondary coil. The primary coil uses thicker enameled wire, typically 0.5 to 1 mm in diameter, wound around 200 to 500 turns. The Verna has dimensions of 4340mm in length, 1700mm in width, and 1460mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2570mm. The car is powered by a 1.4L displacement engine, paired with either a 5MT or 4AT transmission.
I've worked on many Hyundai Vernas and repaired ignition coil replacement issues. At professional repair shops, this job is quite quick, usually taking 20 to 40 minutes to complete. When I brought my car in for inspection as an owner, the technician told me the engine layout is simple with easily accessible coil positions—just remove the cover, unplug the connector, and replace with new parts. However, if the coil is blocked by other components or the technician lacks experience, it might take up to an hour. I understand it's important to choose genuine parts to avoid repeated failures. After completion, a test drive ensures no fault codes, saving the hassle of rework. Overall, this isn't a complex job for the Verna—short time and stable operation. Regular maintenance to monitor ignition system abnormalities can prevent sudden issues.
I replaced the ignition coil on my Verna at home, and it took quite a bit of time—over an hour and a half. First, I looked up tutorials online, prepared wrenches and sockets, and disconnected the battery to avoid short circuits. Locating the part under the hood was straightforward, but the screws were tight and required some effort. I was careful not to damage anything when unplugging the connectors. After installing the new coil, I restored everything and tested the car—it worked fine. The tools were simple, and buying genuine parts wasn’t expensive. I saved on professional labor but spent more time. An experienced person could probably do it in half an hour, but as a beginner, it’s better to take your time and avoid mistakes. The process isn’t hard to learn—safety comes first—and finishing it gives a real sense of accomplishment.
