Volkswagen Touareg Electronic Diesel Control EDC 16 Training -
Design and Function

Greater complexity in the hardware and software for diesel engine management systems is necessary to meet the increasing demand for improvements in comfort and driveability characteristics, and to reduce fuel consumption and exhaust emissions.

With the advent of electronic diesel control EDC 16, an engine management system is available to meet this demand. This has been achieved by improving engine control module processing performance and using a new signal processing system.

This Self Study Program introduces the EDC 16 engine management system using the V10 TDI engine of the Touareg.

Volkswagen Self Study Programs are designed to help the Volkswagen dealership technician prepare for intensive factory training classes. This book provides introductory information regarding the introduction of new features, designs, and functions.

Caution:
Volkswagen Training Literature is not a Repair Manual. For maintenance and repair work, always refer to the current technical literature.

This technical training is based on information available at the time of its original publication and assumes that repair work will be performed in a dealership by a qualified service technician.

Volkswagen is constantly updating its automotive systems and designs; therefore, this booklet may not cover components or systems that have changed over the course of the vehicle's production, and will not apply to vehicles produced after its publication date. It provides conceptual background for the professional automotive technician rather than specific service instructions.

Applies to:
Volkswagen Touareg TDI Engine

Volkswagen Service Training literature will be most useful for those seeking a better conceptual understanding of Volkswagen's innovative design and engineering. While it is not for vehicle repair, it is more technical than most sales literature, and it provides a useful theoretical background for using repair manuals.
