Hi Jim - the yellow management light does come on when the coil pack is faulty. Now - you may be lucky, as the lamp may go out when the coil is replaced. If it doesn't though, you'll need a trip to a local garage that has diagnostic equipment and they will turn it off for you. Good luck!

Coil packs aren't repairable - but its much cheaper to buy them from a motor factors rather than a main dealer. Easy to fit yourself, but its recommended that the spark plugs are replaced at the same time.
