This type of Bosch EDC16 Engine ECU unit (typically EDC16C34) is a very common failure. We are taking calls daily for this type of unit which can be fitted to a variety of VAG vehicles including the Volkswagen (VW) Crafter, Jetta, Sharan and Tiguan. This type of ECU is found to be mounted in the Engine bay, generally near the battery or on a VW Crafter (where the battery is in the passenger floor pan) the ECU will be fitted in the bonnet behind the passenger headlight and secured with two security rivets and a black bracket.
These units amongst others are becomming more and more popular to us, we have stripped and rebuilt hundreds of these units this year all with similar faults whereby the ABS light on the dashboard stays on. This fault is due to a communication failure with the ABS ECU (control unit) which is built in to the ABS pump. If there is no communication failure, then it will be because the wheel speed sensor reading is failing – again, this is a fault within the control unit.
Every week we get calls from anxious customers looking for a more affordable option to replacing their ABS ECU modules and most commonly it’s the Ford KA using the ATE ABS ECU Module. ATE is the name of the manufacturer which produce the ABS ECU’s but there are other manufacturers out there too.
The problem with the Vauxhall Omega’s is so common, we are actually repairing on average 3 units a week. It is mostly common on the Vauxhall Omega 2.5 2000 model but of course does effect them all through the entire range. When the ABS module fails, symptoms can be any of the following:
When the ABS light appears on the dash in your Volvo, 9/10 times dealers and garages will put it down to the ABS ECU Module being at fault.. this is because it’s a very common fault with these units.
A very common fault which causes a number of issues such as turning engine management light on, lumpy/rough idle, hesitant, loss of power and stalling/cutting out.
We are currently taking a high number of calls whereby customers are experiencing the common miss fire faults indicating coil packs and faulty ECU units. We can repair the ECU units but please understand, once we send it back to you – you MUST change your coil packs (Yes, even if you’ve done so already) because if you fitted new coil packs whilst the faulty ECU was still connected, then the new coil packs would have gotten damaged.
