Description
Ignition rail, coil for 2.0 16V 130 kW and 2.2 16V 116 kW engines for Citroën and Peugeot vehicles. Nearly new part FEBI.
This ignition rail (coil pack) is a direct-fit replacement for a range of Stellantis petrol engines and is commonly sought under part number 5970A5. Designed for professional workshops and skilled DIYers, it restores stable ignition, improves engine starting and smooths idling on affected 2.0 16V (130 kW) and 2.2 16V (116 kW) units. The unit is especially useful when misfires, rough running or diagnostic trouble codes point to ignition coil malfunction.

Installation Recommendations
- Work Safely: Disconnect the negative battery terminal before starting to avoid electrical shorts.
- Access: Remove any engine covers or intake trims that block access to the ignition rail. On these engines the rail is typically located on top of the cylinder head above the spark plugs.
- Disconnect: Carefully unplug electrical connectors and remove mounting bolts securing the rail. Label connectors if needed to avoid confusion during reassembly.
- Inspect: Check spark plug condition and plug wells for oil or debris. Replace worn spark plugs when fitting a new ignition rail to prevent premature coil failure.
- Fitment: Install the new rail, tighten fasteners to the manufacturer’s specified torque where available, reconnect electrical connectors and reassemble covers.
- Final Checks: Reconnect the battery, clear any stored fault codes and perform a road test to confirm smooth running and absence of misfires.
Why The Part Fails Most Often
- Heat and Thermal Cycling: Repeated high engine temperatures cause internal insulation breakdown and cracks in the coil housing.
- Worn Spark Plugs: High plug gap or aged plugs increase voltage demand on the coil, accelerating wear and leading to misfires.
- Moisture And Contamination: Oil or water ingress into boot areas and connectors causes tracking or short circuits.
- Electrical Overload Or Poor Connections: Corroded connectors or wiring faults can create intermittent operation or permanent damage.
- Age And Mileage: Components degrade over time; failures are more common on high-mileage engines or vehicles with irregular maintenance.
Search Tip: This part is often located by the code 5970A5—entering that number in parts catalogs or search engines will quickly identify compatibility with the listed Citroën and Peugeot models.
