Go to full description

Engine Control Unit Skoda Octavia 1.9 TDI ASV Bosch 038906012BA 0281010130

In the Octavia, engine code ASV denotes the 1.9 TDI – and this ECU comes from exactly such a car. It was made by Bosch, which gave it the number 0281010130, while VW/Skoda assigned it the number 038906012BA. The unit manages fuel injection in the diesel engine.

How to identify this ECU

  • 038906012BA – VW/Skoda part number
  • 0281010130 – Bosch number, shown on the label as 0 281 010 130
  • ASV – engine code of the car the unit came from

Check the engine code and the full VW number. The letters BA at the end of 038906012BA indicate the hardware or software version and matter when matching.

Most common fault symptoms

  • the engine will not start or runs only briefly,
  • power is restricted for no apparent reason,
  • the diagnostic tool cannot see the engine control unit,
  • a fault after a voltage surge, e.g. from an incorrect jump start.

It is worth starting with the engine earth points and the condition of the ECU plug – oxidised contacts can cause exactly the same symptoms.

Locked or ready to fit?

The locked option reaches you exactly as it was removed: with the software and immobiliser data of the previous car. It is chosen by workshops that carry out the unlocking, programming and adaptation in-house. The unlocked option is prepared by us before dispatch – this usually takes 1–2 working days.

Possible methods include PIN / CAR PASS, Virgin, IMMO OFF, auto programming or a clone of your own ECU, but their availability depends on the number 038906012BA, the software version and the immobiliser in your car. Ask us about the options before you order. All options are described on the ECU preparation options page.

Questions and answers

Does it fit every Octavia 1.9 TDI?
No – the Octavia 1.9 TDI had various ECUs. This one has the number 038906012BA and comes from an ASV engine.
Where can I find the engine code?
Usually on the vehicle identification plate or the vehicle data sticker; the ECU number is on its casing.
Is this part new or used?
Used – fully working and in good condition. You will find the warranty period in the product specification table.

  • How to Check the Operation of a Transmission Control Module - Symptoms

    A faulty transmission control module (TCM) most often causes limp mode with the gearbox stuck in one gear, harsh jolts when you select D or R, erratic gear changes, flashing PRND letters and a gearbox or engine warning light. However, the same symptoms are often caused by a low gearbox oil level, a weak battery, a poor earth or a faulty sensor. To test a transmission control module, start by checking the battery and reading the fault codes with a diagnostic tool that can talk to the gearbox control unit, then check the power supply, the connector, the oil and the live data. Below we explain the symptoms, the diagnostic steps and what the most common fault codes mean.

  • Burned Engine Control Unit: Symptoms, Causes, and the Optimal Solution

    A burned engine control unit (ECU) usually causes a sudden no-start: the engine cranks but will not start, the diagnostic tool cannot connect to the ECU, and the engine management light does not come on when you switch on the ignition. The most common causes are a voltage spike when jump-starting, reversed battery polarity, a faulty voltage regulator and a short circuit in the wiring loom or in an actuator. Below we explain how to tell a burned ECU from a power supply fault, what causes this kind of failure and how to choose a replacement ECU.

  • Flooded Automatic Transmission Control Module or Burnt TCM - Symptoms

    A burnt-out or flooded automatic transmission control module (TCM) usually causes sudden symptoms: limp mode with the gearbox stuck in one gear, harsh thumps when you select D or R, no response to the gear selector, flashing or blank PRND letters and no communication between the diagnostic tool and the gearbox control unit. Flooding is most often caused by blocked scuttle panel drains, washing the engine bay or coolant in the gearbox oil, and a burnout by overheating, a short circuit or a voltage spike. Below we explain the symptoms, what to do straight away and why drying out or repairing such a control unit rarely gives a lasting result.

  • Water-damaged ABS pump control module or a burnt-out one - what next?

    A water-damaged or burnt-out ABS pump control module most often lights up the dashboard like a 'Christmas tree' (ABS, ESP and the red brake warning light), leaves the diagnostic tool unable to communicate with the ABS module, makes the pump motor run non-stop or stops the speedometer working. Water usually gets into the module when the scuttle panel drains are blocked, after the engine bay has been cleaned with a pressure washer or after driving through a deep puddle, while a burnout is most often caused by a short circuit or a voltage spike. Below we describe the symptoms, what to do straight away and why drying or repairing such a module rarely gives lasting results.

  • Flooded engine control unit - symptoms, consequences and what to do

    A flooded engine control unit (ECU) most often causes a no-start, a 'Christmas tree' of warning lights on the dashboard, no communication with the diagnostic tool, or rough running in limp mode. Water usually gets into the ECU from blocked scuttle drains, after the engine bay has been cleaned with a pressure washer, or after driving through deep water. Below we describe the symptoms of a water-damaged ECU, what to do straight after the ECU gets wet, and why drying or repairing it rarely gives lasting results.

  • How to test an ABS module and pump - failure symptoms and checks

    The most common symptom of a faulty ABS pump or ABS module is an ABS warning light that stays on after the engine starts, often together with the ESP light. The brakes still work, but without ABS the wheels can lock under hard braking. To test an ABS module, start by reading the fault codes with a diagnostic tool that can talk to the ABS unit, then check the power supply, the earth and the wheel speed sensors. Only when all of these are fine is the module itself usually to blame.
