Citroen / Peugeot Bosch MP7.2 Engine ECU Repairs

Type: Bosch Engine Management
Fits: Citroen / Peugeot
Fuel: Petrol
Ref: ECUT101195

Note: This ECU may also fit other models.

Four of the seven Bosch numbers in our MP7.2 table have a Citroën or Peugeot part number printed beside them, and three do not. That split matters before you post anything, because it decides what you should copy off the label and send us.

Below we set out the engine and cars the MP7.2 belongs to, the two kinds of number on its label, what an empty cell in our table does and does not mean, and how we repair the unit once it arrives.

Which cars use the Bosch MP7.2?

The MP7.2 is the Bosch engine ECU for the 1.6 eight-valve petrol engine used by both Citroën and Peugeot, listed under the PSA engine code TU5JP / NFZ. All seven Bosch numbers in our table are sold as MP7.2 units, so they form one family built around that engine.

Across the family, the unit is recorded most often in the Peugeot 306 and the Citroën Xsara, then in the Peugeot 206, the Citroën Saxo and the Citroën Xsara Picasso. Those five cars belong to the family as a whole: the records do not tie any one of them to a particular row of our table.

So the car takes you as far as the MP7.2 and stops there. It tells you this is the right page, but not which of the seven units is in your hand. Only the label on the case can settle that.

Two kinds of number on an MP7.2 label

The label on an MP7.2 can carry two references. One is Bosch’s own ten-digit number beginning 0 261, which our table prints without spaces, as in 0261206216. The other is the Citroën and Peugeot part number, which begins 96.

The Bosch number is the one our table is built around, and every row has it. The PSA number works as a second check: where both appear on your label and both agree with the same row below, the identification is firm.

One reading note. Sellers often print the PSA number with a trailing 80, so a label or listing may show 96 309 867 80 where our table shows 96 309 867. Read those two as the same unit; the added digits do not point to a different ECU.

Four rows with both numbers, three with one

Four Bosch numbers in our table have a confirmed PSA partner: 0261204717 with 96 309 867, 0261204929 with 96 331 846 80, 0261206032 with 96 332 342, and 0261206216 with 96 326 939. Each pairing is printed by between eight and eleven independent sellers, so a label that shows one of these combinations is a solid match.

The remaining three, 0261204495, 0261204939 and 0261206214, have the OEM cell empty. We have left those cells blank rather than fill them with a number we have not confirmed.

If your unit is one of those three and its label shows a PSA number as well, copy both down exactly as printed and send them together. Please do not look up a PSA number elsewhere and substitute it; the one on your own case is what our engineers check against.

If the Bosch number is not in the table at all, send it with the car’s details anyway, because our technical team confirms coverage for a specific unit rather than guessing. And if the label shows a different Bosch family altogether, the rest of our Citroën engine ECU pages and Peugeot engine ECUs outside the MP7.2 family are the next places to look, with engine ECU repair for makes beyond Citroën and Peugeot covering every other vehicle.

How we repair a Bosch MP7.2

Every MP7.2 we receive is repaired in-house by our own engineers, in our own UK workshop and on our own equipment. On arrival it is logged, inspected by eye and tested electrically, then taken through diagnostics aimed at the fault it came in with.

Once we know what has failed, we contact you with the outcome and a quote. No chargeable work starts until you authorise it.

The repair is carried out at component level, under a microscope and with temperature-controlled rework equipment, so it deals with the part that failed rather than replacing the whole ECU. The unit is not returned until it passes final testing, and the specific repair carried out is covered by our 24-month warranty.

Sending your MP7.2 to us

We run a mail-in service covering the whole of the UK. When the ECU is out of the car, use the Repair Form to send us the label exactly as it reads: the Bosch number, the PSA number if there is one, the model it came from and a line on how the fault shows itself.

The seven Bosch MP7.2 numbers we repair, with the PSA numbers confirmed against four of them, are listed below.
