What It Helps Resolve

  • Engine misfire caused by a failing ignition control module
  • No-start condition related to weak or inconsistent spark output
  • Rough idle from unstable distributorless ignition performance
  • Intermittent stalling tied to ignition control failure
  • Loss of ignition coil function in module-and-coil package systems

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify connector shape, terminal count, and mounting location before installation. The UF-256 mounts to the engine housing cover and uses a single rectangular female connector with blade terminals, so matching the original configuration is important for proper fitment. Confirm vehicle application by year, make, and model before replacing the original module.

Quality Assurance

Standard Ignition supplies OE-style ignition components for service replacement use. The UF-256 is built to match the specified distributorless ignition configuration for the listed Audi and Volkswagen applications.
