What This Module Helps Address

• Intermittent spark loss on distributorless ignition systems
• Rough running or misfire related to module signal interruption
• Stalling tied to weak or inconsistent ignition triggering
• Hard starting on older Audi, Volkswagen, and Saab platforms

Installation Notes

Verify the connector style, terminal count, and mounting location before installation. This module uses a female connector, male blade terminals, and a distributor mounting location; confirm the vehicle’s emissions configuration and chassis breakpoints where noted for Volkswagen applications. The LX-832 includes mounting bracket(s), but mounting hardware is not listed as included.

For best results, inspect related ignition components, wiring condition, and the distributor area before replacing the module. If the vehicle uses a separate ignition coil, confirm coil condition since the coil is not included with this part.

Quality Assurance

Standard Ignition LX-832 is cataloged as a direct ignition control module replacement for the listed applications. Cross-reference part numbers include 6H1020 and 14-0172 for the same application.
