Is poor fuel quality in Pakistan a contributing factor to ignition coil issues in the Changan Kalam?

Many users believe that the unregulated fuel quality at local pumps leads to premature failure of ignition coils. Is this a widespread opinion among Changan Kalam owners?

Yes, poor fuel quality is a significant contributing factor. Pakistani drivers frequently report issues arising from:

High ethanol content o r adulterated petrol damaging coils and spark plugs.

Cheap fuel from unregulated petrol pumps accelerating coil overheating o r internal shorting.

This opinion is widely shared across PakWheels, local mechanics, and Facebook auto groups.
