Speed Sensor

[Trislander]

Does anyone have a pic that can show exactly where to find the speed sensor on a mark 2?

I've been told its located on the top of the gear box by the selector but cannot locate it

I don`t have a pick ,just changed the crankshaft speed sensor it`s just to the right below the oil filter base on the front of the engine block it has a light grey connector  ,hope this helps

If whats posted there is correct its done off the abs sensors. At a guess you might have found the reversing light switch?

 

Either way do you have an abs light lit (if not does the abs light come on when you first go to start? if not then either the bulbs blown or missing?) Or any faults shown if you look with VCDS ?

 

Edit

 

And if not have a look at this
