What is an .EDF File?

An .EDF is the Engine Data File that stores all kind of data about your engine such as the injector coefficients and which type of oil the engine runs on. In order to program your EMM we do need the EDF, in most cases we can retrieve this from your EMM. If this is not the case we have to request one for 100 Euro ex VAT. Read our full guide on what an EDF file is.
