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.

Does the 03L906018CT ECU fit your Octavia?
It fits if the VW number on your unit is also 03L906018CT. The car model alone is not enough – many different ECUs were used in the Octavia. This Bosch EDC17C46 unit (0281016952) is used and fully working.
Engine Control Unit Skoda Octavia Bosch EDC17C46 03L906018CT 0281016952
EDC17C46 is a family of Bosch ECUs for diesel engines, to which the 03L906018CT unit belongs. It comes from a diesel Skoda Octavia; it oversees fuel injection, turbo boost, starting and communication with the immobiliser. The Bosch number is 0 281 016 952. We do not state the engine size in the description, so compatibility is determined solely by the numbers on the label.
How to identify this ECU
- 03L906018CT – VW/Skoda part number,
- 0281016952 – Bosch number (as written on the label: 0 281 016 952),
- EDC17C46 – ECU family.
There are many versions within the EDC17C46 family. The letters CT at the end of the VW number denote a specific software and hardware version – compare them with your unit.
Fault symptoms
- no start even though the starter works,
- an engine fault message and reduced power,
- no communication with the unit during diagnostics,
- a fault after a voltage surge or water damage.
Check the power supply, fuses and earths first – they are the most common causes of similar symptoms.
Before you choose an option
First decide who will do the programming. If your workshop does it, order the locked version – with the donor car's data and immobiliser, for you to unlock, program and match yourself. If you would prefer a unit prepared by us, choose the unlocked version; preparation before dispatch usually takes 1–2 working days.
Depending on the part number, software and immobiliser, different methods are possible: PIN / CAR PASS, Virgin, IMMO OFF, auto programming or cloning. Not every one will work with 03L906018CT, so ask before buying. Description: ECU preparation options.
