Catalogue identity

The TuningService.uk ECU catalogue records EDC16C39 under Bosch EDC16 (catalogue record 7, observed 10 November 2026). The catalogue name is an identification lead; it does not by itself prove vehicle fitment or software compatibility.

Application evidence

AutoTuner lists selected Hyundai/Kia CRDi, Fiat JTDm and Opel CDTI and Saab TiD applications. Separate CAN and K-Line labels occur for some Alfa Romeo examples.

Tuning and identification

The application range crosses several manufacturers. Match the full ECU and calibration identity, and choose the bus and programming protocol for that unit; the bus label alone does not define its torque model.

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.

Further application examples

Alientech’s 2017 list also includes selected Chevrolet Captiva and Daewoo Epica 2.0 VCDi entries under EDC16C39. These are further examples of the label across manufacturers, not evidence that their calibration or electronics match other C39 vehicles. Alientech, PDF pages 36 and 42.

Identification photograph

The pictured label shows Bosch 0 281 015 163 and 51847393. The seller identifies the unit as EDC16C39 for an Alfa Romeo 159 1.9 JTDM; the ECU suffix itself is not visible on this label. Confirm the exact hardware and software before selecting a file.
