Introduction
Bosch EDC 16
Bosch EDC 16 is a torque-orientated engine management system which is featured for the first time in a
diesel engine. As is the case with petrol engines, in the EDC 16 system all torque demands are collected,
evaluated and co-ordinated in the engine control unit. This has the advantage of better adaptability
between the individual vehicle systems (engine management, brake system, automatic gearbox, air
conditioning, ...).

– Component protection

The Bosch EDC 16 engine management system is designed to be compatible as both a single and double
control unit concept. The actual concept used depends on the number of cylinders in the engine.

Metering regulation
The quantity of fuel injected influences important engine properties, such as the torque,
output, fuel consumption, exhaust gas emissions and mechanical and thermal stress
of the engine.
Thanks to the metering regulation, the engine can operate in all working conditions with optimal fuel
combustion.

The specified torque is calculated from the internal and external torque demands. To reach this torque
specification, a set quantity of fuel is required.
The quantity of fuel, for example, is calculated by the engine control unit with respect to
However, to protect the engine against mechanical damage and to prevent black smoke, there should be

limitations on the quantity of fuel injected. For this reason, the engine control unit calculates a limit value
for this quantity.
The parts systems illustrated as follows in this Self-Study Programme are based on the
V10-TDI-engine as fitted in the Phaeton.
As can already be seen in the illustrated overview, reference is made only to cylinder bank 1
for description of the systems. Likewise, only the components belonging to the relevant parts
system are included in the key.

Engine management
The start of injection regulation influences a number of engine properties, such as the engine
performance, the fuel consumption, the noise emissions and, equally as important, the exhaust
emissions.
The start of injection regulation thus has the task of determining the correct point of fuel delivery and
injection.

Engine management
Exhaust gas recirculation means that some of the exhaust emissions from the combustion process are
used again. Because the exhaust gases contain very little oxygen, the peak combustion temperature is
lowered and nitrogen oxide emissions (NOX) are reduced.
Exhaust gas recirculation occurs up to an engine speed of approximately 3000 rpm.

Engine management
The V10-TDI-engine in the Phaeton has an independent cooler for exhaust gas recirculation
for each cylinder bank due to its emissions classification. The system cools the recirculated exhaust gas
when the coolant temperature exceeds 50 oC.
This means that there is less nitrogen oxide and the build up of carbon is reduced.
An independent exhaust gas recirculation cooler is used because continual cooling of the recirculated
exhaust gas lengthens the period required for the engine to reach optimal operating temperature and
ProCarManuals.com
leads to an increase in carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide emissions. For the independent cooling pro-
cess, the exhaust gas is directed either past or through the cooler to the exhaust gas recirculation valve.

The preglow system makes it easier to start the engine at low outside temperatures.
It is activated by the engine control unit at coolant temperatures below +9 oC.
The glow plug relay is actuated by the engine control unit. Once actuated it provides

The Cruise Control System (CCS) allows the vehicle to be driven at a constant speed without the driver
having to press the accelerator pedal.
The start of cruise control depends on the vehicle. Cruise control on the Touareg, for example,
starts in the reduction gear at 6 km/h and in normal operation at 20 km/h. On the Phaeton, it starts
at 20 km/h.
