How to choose ECU 0281015560 51849380
This is a working, used Bosch engine control unit with Bosch number 0281015560 and OEM number 51849380, for Fiat Bravo 1.6 Multijet. The unit is tested before dispatch.
When should the ECU be replaced?
Look out for:
- failure after water ingress or a short circuit in the wiring,
- no communication with the ECU during diagnostics,
- no power supply to the ECU although the fuses are fine,
- the engine does not start, no injector control.
These symptoms can also have other causes – wiring, power supply or sensors. Run a diagnosis before buying.
How to check compatibility
The safest way is to compare the stickers. Your ECU should show numbers 0281015560 (Bosch) and 51849380 (OEM). This unit is intended for Fiat Bravo 1.6 Multijet, but the number decides, not the model.

Fitting and services

- Free cloning: if you prefer, send us the damaged ECU or its files – we will transfer the data to this ECU.
- At extra cost: chip tuning, EGR OFF and DPF OFF.
