Kia Bosch EDC16C39 Engine ECU Repairs

Type: Bosch Engine Management
Fits: Kia
Fuel: Diesel
Ref: ECUT71300

Note: This ECU may also fit other models.

A letter sits just after the hyphen in three of the Kia numbers our table prints, so compare a Kia engine ECU with our table one character at a time.

This EDC16C39 page covers how the Kia numbers in our table are printed, the record for each Bosch number in our table, and our repair process.

A letter after the hyphen

Our table prints a Kia number beside each Bosch number in it, so a comparison can start from the Kia side. In our table, the Kia numbers open 39101, 39113, 39114 or 39154.

In 39154-4A430, 39101-2A616 and 39114-4A450, an A follows the first digit after the hyphen. 39113-27485 has only digits after its hyphen.

If a reading of the unit’s number leaves out that A, what remains will not match our table. Read the five characters after the hyphen one by one.

On a unit, the Kia number may appear on a separate label from the Bosch number, and may be printed without its hyphen. A Bosch number may be printed with spaces, as 0 281 014 673.

4A4, and the digits either side of it

In our table, 39154-4A430 and 39114-4A450 each have 4A4 straight after the hyphen. Before the hyphen, they part at the fourth digit: 5 in one, 1 in the other. After 4A4, they close on 30 and 50.

4A4 alone points to neither; the digits around it settle the comparison.

If the Kia number on the unit appears in our table, the Bosch number beside it heads a section below.

Sent by post, repaired at component level

Engine ECUs reach us by post from anywhere in the UK. On arrival, each is logged, visually inspected and electrically tested, then diagnosed for its particular fault.

We contact you with what the diagnosis found, and no chargeable work begins until you authorise it.

Our own engineers make the repair in our own UK workshop, with nothing outsourced. Under a microscope, with temperature-controlled rework equipment, they repair the specific fault at component level rather than swapping the whole unit.

Once the unit passes final testing, the specific repair we made is warranted for 24 months, and that warranty is non-transferable.

Contact us for a quote via the Repair Form, on the page to use before sending us an engine ECU.

For the make, see the Kia engine ECU repairs page that heads this one. Further up are the hub that gathers our engine ECU repair pages and an outline of the engine ECU work our workshop takes on.

Our table below sets each Bosch number on a row with its Kia number.
