Hello,
I would like to have an overview.
which engine control units (Bosch part numbers) are used in the Audi 100 / A6 Type C4 (4A) 5-cylinder TDI?
when they were manufactured (from MM/YY to MM/YY, production years).
and specifically for MKB: AAT and AEL.
and for both automatic and manual transmissions.
It would also be interesting to know which of the models had the integrated GRA* system and which already had an integrated immobilizer.
(as I said, I'm only interested in the Bosch part numbers)
Can someone help me?
*(GRA=Cruise control (software-side preparation))*

Hi,
You can easily find that out.
The "Diesel Mechanic" forum recently added a new section.
http://www.bosch-automotive.com/ecat-online
At least you'll get the part numbers that way. I'm not sure how to find out whether it includes the GRA (presumably a specific feature or component) or not.
Best regards, Rainer.

Yes, I've already been there.
is, but unfortunately, also not complete  .
But what I found out, I'll post here tonight.
Then, perhaps, with a joint effort, we can still figure out the rest.

Hi,
I believe that MichaelII also took the trouble to roughly categorize the different versions of the engine control units in the 'error/knowledge database.'
I'm just not finding it anymore in all this hustle and bustle.
Do you want to upgrade your GRA?
I was also planning to do that recently.
It didn't work with my 100 (see signature).
Sure, I could probably get another control unit for around 600 euros or so  , but I'd rather not do that...

Okay, I've already figured out the following:
http://24max.de/audifaq/TDI_STG/Steuergeraete_TDI_C4.pdf
(see also -> http://24max.de/audifaq/TDI_STG/)
or, as I put it myself.
Of course, I'm particularly interested in the exact places where the question marks are  (it's Murphy's Law, after all...).
Who can help?
Does anyone have connections at Bosch?
Please provide the German text you would like me to translate into English.

According to my wiring diagram, this should work for all AEL/AAT models from 1991 onwards. However, I've read in this forum that the function is simply not included in some engine control units.

On the other hand, I read here in the forum that the function is simply not included in some control units.
That's precisely where the problem seems to lie.

Unfortunately, the circuit diagrams do not entirely correspond to reality in this respect }.
The GRA functionality is only included in the third generation of AAT-based flight control units, or from the beginning in AEL systems (as is also the case with the WFS and transponder).
(so, starting from "A6", let's say, to "C4")

'And how do you find out which specific variant of the engine you have? I also have an AAT R5 EZ 9/93, a 6-speed manual TDI.'

If I remember correctly:
Generation 1+2 only supports measurement block 0, and GRA functionality is only available from generation 3 onwards. 1993 Audi 80 B4 1Z
2004 Seat Leon 1M ASV

And that's exactly where my question from above comes in: how do I find out which generation I belong to?
vcds said:
Address 01: Engine Control Module
Label file: DRV\4A0-907-401.lbl
Part number: 4A0 907 401.
Component: 2.5L R5 EDC A23 D49
Encoding: 00000
Operating number: WSC 00000
If that helps further.
