Catalogue identity
The TuningService.uk ECU catalogue records EDC16U1 under Bosch EDC16 (catalogue record 76, 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 and 2.0 TDI unit-injector examples and Volkswagen 2.5 TDI examples.
Tuning and identification
For the documented unit-injector applications, examine fuel quantity, start of injection and air/smoke limits in the matched software; a common-rail pressure-target map is not the same fuel system.
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 application evidence
Alientech’s Powergate 3+ list includes selected Volkswagen Touran 1T1 1.9 TDI AVQ and BKC examples under EDC16U1. Its entries for other Touran engines use different U-series labels; identify the ECU and its software on the actual vehicle. Alientech Powergate 3+ supported-vehicle list.
Identification photograph
This Volkswagen-labelled example is marked EDC16U1, Bosch 0 281 012 220 and VW 03G 906 016 R. Bosch lists that part number for a Golf Plus 1.9 TDI. Use the complete identifiers, not the shape alone, when matching a unit.
