silverline 0 Posted October 18, 2005 Report Share Posted October 18, 2005 had a diagnostic test done on my vr and it said the engine speed sensor is faulty. spoke to VW and they seemed a bit vague, they werent too sure whether i meant the knock sensor or the actual engine speed sensor. %-6 any way im sure some of you have had this problem, where is the engine speed sensor? im guessing its the sensor thats poking out of the block, with a single wire attached, looking at it from underneath. bell housing end. mines an obd1 in case that makes a difference?what price should i pay for it? they reckon over Link to post Share on other sites

silverline 0 Posted October 18, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2005 thats the thing mine was checked with the engine switched off. BUT it does stall on occasion and does run rough on idle which i understand can point to a faulty engine speed sensor. thats not to say that the sensor is the only thing to cause the problem. i best get it checked with the engine running before i commit to anything.thanks for the advice.

jonnyedinburgh 0 Posted October 18, 2005 Report Share Posted October 18, 2005 I had the fuel pump, fuel press regulator, fuel filter all replaced before the speed sender, v costly all in all (not my fault, was informed by the garage.... found out the hard way!). Anyway, first sign of a problem was the car stalled last december. Then did the same a week later. Then more regularly (each time i drove). Then after 2 weeks i had to keep revving the engine to stop it stallling. In the end it was almost impossible to drive without looking like a right tit! Sitting at lights in a VR revving the arse out of it is not great, well not after a fortnight anyway. Good luck %-6 Link to post Share on other sites
