123 Ignition VW-R-V vacuum electronic ignition Type 1, 3, 4 CT/CZ
123 Ignition VW-R-V vacuum electronic ignition Type 1, 3, 4 CT/CZ
This 123 Ignition unit fully replaces the mechanical distributor with a computer-controlled system, putting play and wear issues firmly in the past. This version with vacuum advance is the right choice for engines that came factory-fitted with a vacuum connection. The system automatically detects whether your vehicle runs on 6 or 12 Volts and offers 16 adjustable advance curves to fine-tune the ignition precisely to your engine.
- ✓Spark Balancing technology (derived from Formula 1) compensates for small compression differences between cylinders, for a smooth, vibration-free run
- ✓Automatic dwell control continuously adjusts the contact angle for maximum spark energy at every rpm
- ✓Coil protection: power is automatically cut after 1 second when the ignition is on but the engine isn't running
- ✓Built-in cold-start program for trouble-free starting in cold conditions
- ✓No more contact points, weights or springs that can wear out
- ✓Automatically detects 6 or 12 Volt systems
If your Type 4 or CT engine came factory-fitted with electronic ignition, please order the matching ignition coil as well, since the original coil from that system is generally not compatible with the 123 Ignition.
