Removed text is struck through; added text is highlighted.

Catalogue identity

The TuningService.uk ECU catalogue records EDC16U31 under Bosch EDC16 (catalogue record 111, observed 10 November 2026). The catalogue name is an identification lead; it does not by itself prove vehicle fitment or software compatibility.

This entry is grouped with EDC16U by its catalogue name for navigation. That placement does not establish hardware or calibration equivalence.

Application evidence

AutoTuner lists selected VAG 1.9, 2.0 and 2.5 TDI unit-injector examples.

Tuning and identification

For the documented unit-injector applications, identify torque-to-fuel relationships, injection timing and air limits in the matched software. U31 does not imply compatibility with U1 or U34 files.

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

Beyond its Volkswagen Group examples, Alientech’s 2017 list includes selected Chrysler Sebring 2.0 CRD, Jeep Compass 2.0 CRD and Mitsubishi Grandis 2.0 DI-D entries under EDC16U31. The documented VAG unit-injector description should not be assumed to describe every vehicle in this tool list. Alientech, PDF pages 39, 64 and 77.
