Facet 8.2659 Distributor Ignition Pickup Coil

The Facet 8.2659 is a precision-engineered distributor ignition pickup coil designed for electronic ignition systems on European vehicles. This critical ignition component replaces traditional contact points with an electronic sensor that monitors crankshaft position and signals the ignition system to fire at the optimal moment.

How It Works:

As the distributor rotor spins, small windows in the reluctor wheel change the magnetic field of the pickup sensor. This allows the distributor pickup coil to send precise timing signals to the ignition system or engine control module, determining which cylinder should fire and allowing the ignition coil to build the necessary charge for a powerful spark.

Key Features:

• OEM-quality replacement for worn or failing ignition pickup sensors
• Enables faster switching and more powerful sparks compared to traditional points
• Provides accurate crankshaft position sensing for proper ignition timing
• Manufactured by Facet, a leading European aftermarket supplier for BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen, Audi, and other European manufacturers
• Direct replacement for OEM part number Peugeot 590425 and numerous VW/Seat part numbers

Symptoms of a Failing Pickup Coil:

A worn or damaged distributor pickup can cause engine misfires, rough idle, stalling, poor acceleration, reduced fuel economy, and difficulty starting. If your vehicle exhibits these symptoms after ruling out spark plugs, wires, and ignition coils, the pickup coil may be the culprit.
