Both coil packs defective, the garage told me that the one disintergrated, and the other coil pack, I smelled what smelled like a fire during test drive after the first coil pack was replaced. The second one went bad, they said it was arcing, and would have caused a fire. Although, it was at a mercedes dealer in rochester NY, they didn't offer to pay for the defective part. Through research on the internet I find that these coil packs are notorious for going bad with low milage. One disintergrated and caused misfire, and the other apparently caused a fire that caused it to go bad.
