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.

What does number 070997016K on the EDC16U31 ECU mean?
It is the Volkswagen part number shown on the label of this module – in an unusual format with the digits 997. The second number, Bosch 0281014048, confirms an EDC16U31 ECU from a Volkswagen T5 2.5 TDI. The part is used and in working order.
Engine Control Unit Volkswagen T5 2.5 TDI Bosch EDC16U31 070997016K 0281014048
On the label of this ECU, the VW number reads 070997016K, i.e. with the digits 997 in the middle rather than the more common 906. That is why it is worth comparing it directly with the sticker on your own module before buying. The ECU is a Bosch EDC16U31 with number 0281014048, taken from a Volkswagen T5 2.5 TDI. It is used, in working order and in good condition.
Numbers on the label
- 070997016K – VW number as printed on the label (070 997 016 K)
- 0281014048 – Bosch number, shown on the sticker as 0 281 014 048
- EDC16U31 – Bosch ECU family
The letter K at the end of the VW number denotes the software and hardware version. With such an unusual number, the most reliable check is to compare the Bosch number – send us a photo of the label.
Symptoms of failure
- the 2.5 TDI engine will not start despite a working starter motor,
- no communication with the ECU,
- limp mode and loss of power,
- internal module faults stored in the memory.
Start by checking the power supply, earths and the ECU connector.
Options and module preparation
We sell the ECU locked or unlocked. An unlocked unit is prepared before dispatch, usually within 1–2 working days. A locked unit arrives with the data and immobiliser of the previous T5 – it is bought by workshops that will unlock, program and match it themselves.
Whether PIN / CAR PASS, Virgin, IMMO OFF, auto programming or cloning will be possible for this unit depends on the number, software and immobiliser. Please ask before buying. Description of the options: ECU preparation options.
