Of everything this page says about Bosch 0261 206 819, the firmest fact is the number printed beside it in our table: 022 906 032 Q. Thirteen independent sources we checked show those two numbers together, so the pairing does not rest on our word alone.

Everything else we hold on this unit is thinner. The sections below weigh each part of the record in turn, then cover what to copy from the label and how the repair is handled.

Two numbers that thirteen sources print together

Our table gives two references for this unit: the Bosch number, 0261 206 819, and a vehicle-manufacturer number, 022 906 032 Q. Each of those thirteen sources shows them as a pair, which is why we treat the row as settled.

If both numbers appear on your unit’s label, it is the unit in our table. If only one does, or the second number reads differently, say so on the Repair Form rather than assume a match. Coverage for that exact unit is something our engineers confirm, not something we ask you to guess.

What the record says about the car

0261 206 819 is on record from the Ford Galaxy with a 2.8 petrol engine. That is where the vehicle record stops. The Engines and Year lines above are empty because we hold nothing firm enough to put in them, and this page does not fill them by guesswork.

The number beside it is in Volkswagen’s part-number format rather than Ford’s, and the sources that carry it list it under Volkswagen as well as Ford. On a unit from a Galaxy, a Volkswagen-format number next to the Bosch one is consistent with this row, provided it reads 022 906 032 Q in full.

Sources also name the family as ME7.1, which agrees with the heading of this page.

The Q at the end of 022 906 032

The letter after 032 is part of the number. 022 906 032 is printed with other endings on other units: 022 906 032 DJ and 022 906 032 E, for instance, appear in the table on the ME7.1 page we keep for Volkswagen-group units, alongside further 022 906 032 references.

Copy the ending exactly as your label shows it, whether that is one letter or two. A label reading 022 906 032 with any ending other than Q does not match the row on this page, and the Volkswagen-group page is the next place to check it.

Copying the label before the unit is posted

Write the Bosch number in full. Our table prints it without spaces, as 0261206819, and this page spaces it as 0261 206 819; they are the same ten digits, so copy whichever form your label uses.

Add the second number with its ending, the car the unit came out of and the engine size. If the label carries any further line of print, include that as well; an extra line on the form is quicker than a query afterwards.

If the Bosch number on your label is a different one, start from the Ford engine ECUs that come across our bench instead.

Once the unit is at our workshop

Units arrive by post from across the UK; the workshop has no counter, by choice. Our own engineers log each one, inspect it, test it electrically and then run diagnostics aimed at the fault you describe, all in-house.

Faulty components are taken off the board and new ones fitted in their place, under a microscope with temperature-controlled rework equipment. A unit does not leave until it has passed a final test.

You hear what testing found before any work is carried out, and nothing goes ahead without your agreement. The repair carries a 24-month warranty.

When you have both numbers written down, book the unit in through the Repair Form. For a vehicle that is not a Ford, the full spread of engine ECUs we repair is the better starting point.

The single row follows, with the Bosch number first and the number printed beside it second.
