Saab Bosch EDC16C39 Engine ECU Repairs

Type: Bosch Engine Management
Fits: Saab 9-5 / 9-3
Engines: 1.9L
Fuel: Diesel

Note: This ECU may also fit other models.

The Bosch EDC16C39 runs a diesel engine. We wrote this page for Saab owners or garages with one. Repair here means component-level work, inside a workshop we own in the UK. Sending your ECU to us leaves you with up to four things: our findings, our quote and, if you then approve the repair, that same ECU returned, plus warranty cover on it. The headings below take them in that order.

If you start from a Bosch number, check beneath each Saab below to see if it appears. Listed there or not, your actual ECU still needs coverage confirmed; our technical staff handle that, and guesswork plays no part.

Bench work produces the first two: logging, inspection and then electrical tests lead to diagnostics for the particular fault. Our Saab ECU repairs page goes wider on this make.

Saab models sellers give beside these Bosch numbers

These headings are cars. Under one you get a size, then Bosch numbers. 0281013568, 0281014553 and 0281015210 sit first under the 9-5 heading, and come up again under the 9-3 heading as a further listing. Those lines are seller wording; findings come from tests on your ECU.

Saab 9-5 TiD

Sellers give this Saab for the line below.

• 1.9 litres: 0281013568, 0281014553, 0281015210

Saab 9-3 TiD

Sellers name this Saab against the first line below, and the line marked also is a further listing for numbers from the heading above.

• 1.9 litres: 0281014551, 0281016152
• 1.9 litres, also: 0281013568, 0281014553, 0281015210

The first two: what we find and what we quote

Your ECU travels here by mail-in from within the UK. Logged on arrival, it goes through inspection by sight and then electrical testing. Diagnostics suited to your fault next isolate a component.

Among the findings this work can produce are injector driver and voltage regulator failures, dry joints and CAN bus transceiver faults. Test readings on your ECU settle which applies, if one does.

You then hear what we found, our quote alongside it. With those two in hand you decide, because no chargeable work can start until you authorise.

The second two: your own ECU and a warranty

If you say yes, engineers we employ mend what failed, working by microscope, the rework gear held under temperature control. Kit, staff and workshop stay ours, UK-based; no job goes to outsourcers, subcontractors or overseas processors.

We mend the fault in place of exchanging units, so the third thing you come away with is the very unit you sent. Before it leaves us, that unit has to clear final testing, and until then the repair stays incomplete.

Because our work has not disturbed the original coding, refit on your Saab becomes plug and play. This refit needs no recoding. Fourth comes warranty cover, its length 24-month, over the specific repair, with non-transferable terms.
