Coiltek Elite Coil Problem

[bonza]

I purchased a new Coitek 14" Elite mono coil early this year to use on my GPX5000

can't say I have been happy with it!
it cost nearly $500. is not as quiet as I expected and have trouble getting it to settle down after trying many settings. you just have to gently touch the coil on a rock or especially the cable going into the coil and it will make a noise then after a bit of fiddling with securing the cable into the coil it finally settles, but not for long, which makes me suspect it is a connection problem with the cable to the coil

due to the above I have gone back to using a nugget finder coil with much better results

I have heard on the grape vine that there were a certain number built between serial number "x" and "y" that were faulty, now I'm wondering if mine is

anyone know of this? and has anyone had success lodging a warranty claim?

Have you tried contacting coiltek themselves? I would think if there is a problem with the coil or connection they would replace it so long as it was not due to being dropped or the like.

Hope you manage to get it sorted.

My 4500 broke down while I was over in WA brought from Coiltek , 

I had 1 day left on my warranty , they said "no worry's send it back"

I think they will look after you if you send it back 

a mate once told me that the 5000 doesn't handle big coils well but deadly with small coils

so I swap my small coils to my 5000 and put the large coils on the 4500

I would contact Coiltek and if there was a faulty batch and your coil falls within that batch I think coiltek would look after you. Regardless, contact them and I'm sure you find that they could repair/replace the coil at a nominal rate. I have heard nothing but favourable outcomes with their service.
