c30 firing order

I have a 2008 C30 and a check engine light is on! The code shows cylinder misfire in #1 and #2 cylinders. I am going to replace the coil pack and plug for these 2 cylinders(I cant afford to do the rest). Can some please tell me which cylinders are 1 and 2 ? Thanks

1 is closest to the passenger side...where the timing belt is and the count-off is from there, towards the driver's side..1,2,3,4,5.

Thank you! Are you sure! I only bought 2 coil packs and 2 plugs! Overdue for inspection!

Yes, that is the correct order of the cylinders although firing order is not the same thing. It actually fires in this order: 1-3-5-4-2. But the cylinder numbers are as I posted them. If in doubt, change the 2 out that you bought coils for and see if the misfire codes are still there... I'll bet they'll be gone now. You can also put the supposedly bad coil on a different cylinder to see if the misfire follows to the different cylinder.
