The automatic transmission control unit (often designated as TCU or TCM) is a crucial electronic component responsible for smooth and trouble-free gear shifting. Its failure, most often caused by overheating, short circuits, or water damage, results in jerking, an inability to shift gears, or the vehicle entering limp mode. Purchasing a new module at an authorized dealership is a massive expense, which is why replacing it with a fully functional, used original is the most reasonable solution.

Important: Depending on the ECU type and vehicle model, not all of the options listed below may be available.
To select the correct option for your vehicle and ECU, please contact us before purchasing:
contact@auto24parts.com
1. Locked
This option is intended for professional workshops with the required specialist equipment and technical knowledge.
The ECU has been removed from a vehicle intended for recycling and still contains the immobilizer data and other information from the previous vehicle. Before it can be used in another car, it must be unlocked and then programmed using specialist automotive diagnostic equipment.
2. Unlocked
Several preparation methods may be available. The possible options depend on the ECU type, vehicle model and immobilizer system. Please contact us before purchasing, as some preparation methods are not available for every ECU.
Our electronics specialists can prepare the ECU in one of the following ways:
a) ECU with PIN code (Car Pass)
The PIN code is supplied, but programming with a suitable diagnostic tool is still required. After installing the ECU, it must be reset using the supplied PIN code and then programmed to the vehicle’s immobilizer system.
b) VIRGIN ECU
The data from the previous vehicle is removed and the ECU is restored to a clean, factory-like state. After installation, it must be programmed to the vehicle using a compatible specialist diagnostic tool. Unless another preparation method is specified in the product description, this is the standard unlocking option for most of our ECUs.
c) Plug & Play – IMMO OFF
The immobilizer function is disabled in the ECU. After installation, the engine can start without additional immobilizer programming. Please note that the vehicle will no longer have an active immobilizer function, and an immobilizer warning light or fault code may remain, depending on the vehicle model.
d) Plug & Play – Automatic Programming
After installation, the ECU automatically learns and saves the required vehicle data. No additional programming is normally required.
e) Plug & Play – 1:1 Clone
The data from your original ECU is copied to another fully functional ECU. The cloned unit is then ready for installation without additional programming.
You must send us your original ECU so that we can transfer its data to the replacement unit.
The original ECU must have working communication with the vehicle, a diagnostic tool or our programming equipment. If the required data cannot be read, a complete 1:1 clone may not be possible.
3. Complete Plug & Play Set
A complete matched set containing the ECU, immobilizer components and all other parts required to start the vehicle without additional programming. All components supplied in the set must be installed in the vehicle.
Important:
Dispatch time depends on the selected option. If an unlocked or specially prepared version is ordered, the preparation service usually requires an additional 1–2 business days.

How can I check whether the 03L906018SR ECU will fit my car?
Compare VW number 03L906018SR and Bosch number 0 281 030 091 with the label on your ECU. Matching numbers matter more than the Skoda model itself. The unit is used and fully working, with a choice of variant.
Engine Control Unit Skoda Bosch EDC17C46 03L906018SR 0281030091
Bosch number 0281030091 indicates a diesel engine control unit from the EDC17C46 family. In the VW/Skoda catalogue, this unit carries the number 03L906018SR. It is responsible for fuel injection and engine operation based on sensor data.
How to identify this ECU
- 03L906018SR – VW/Skoda part number (version SR)
- 0281030091 – Bosch number, written on the sticker as 0 281 030 091
- EDC17C46 – Bosch EDC family
The letters SR at the end of the VW number distinguish this version from the other 03L906018 ECUs. Choose the unit by its full number, and if in doubt, send us a photo of the label.
Symptoms of a faulty engine control unit
- the engine will not fire, even though the starter cranks and fuel is getting through,
- no communication with the diagnostic tester,
- limp mode and a marked loss of power not caused by the sensors,
- internal ECU faults stored in the fault memory.
First rule out a weak battery, chafed wires and loose plugs; only then suspect the unit itself.
Locked and unlocked variant
Do you run a garage with coding tools? Then a locked ECU will do the job – with the data and immobiliser of the previous car, for unlocking, programming and adaptation on your own. Without that kind of set-up, it is better to order the unlocked version, which we will prepare before dispatch, usually within 1–2 working days.
Whether PIN / CAR PASS, Virgin, IMMO OFF, auto-programming or clone is possible depends on the number 03L906018SR, the software and the immobiliser. Ask us before you place your order. All options: Engine control unit variants.
