List of products
Volkswagen engine ECU: number, engine, year
The engine control unit (ECU) manages injection, ignition and the throttle based on sensor signals. That is why a replacement is chosen by the numbers on its label: the electronics manufacturer's number and the Volkswagen OEM number. The car model and engine size alone are not enough, because one model can come with several ECU versions.
Numbers and markings of Volkswagen control units
Our Volkswagen control units include families such as SIMOS, MED9.5.10, EDC17C46. The family marking alone is not enough to match a part; you need the full number. The Bosch number 0281011855 is sometimes written as 0 281 011 855, so search both ways. Engines in the listings here include 1.9 TDI, 1.6 TDI, 2.0 TDI.
