Catalogue identity

The TuningService.uk ECU catalogue records EDC16C42 under Bosch EDC16 (catalogue record 1586, observed 10 November 2026). The catalogue name is an identification lead; it does not by itself prove vehicle fitment or software compatibility.

Application evidence

Alientech’s dated list includes a 2003 Chevrolet Silverado 6.6 V8 diesel example.

Tuning and identification

Use the precise engine and software identity: nearby Silverado applications in the same source are listed with C37 rather than C42.

Read EDC16 torque fuel and tuning basics and EDC16 variant application and tuning differences for the shared context. Examples are not an exhaustive fitment list; check the installed ECU and current tool documentation.

Additional source evidence

The cited Alientech row identifies the Silverado as T800, 6.6 V8 diesel and 220 kW; its adjacent list entries may use different controller labels. The model-year entry is not a production-range claim. Alientech, 2017, PDF page 38.

Identification photograph

Bosch hosts this small image under its EDC16C42 product-image name. Its catalogue identifies 0 281 013 218 as an EDC16C42 for a GMC application. The photograph is too small to confirm the exact part number on the pictured example.
