took my car in today as the engine management light was on and was diagnosed with a faulty speed sensor. engine was vibrating when stationary and just feeling very lumpy and not performing well anyone else had this thing happen?:confused:

Hiya Nat,

This has happened to me too.

The only thing was that i was on the A 55 @ 80ish and all the dial dropped down to zero, But i was still moving ... soon to be followed by thea same diagnosis as yourself. Promptly followed by a nice AA man and a tow truck back to the dealers..

No big deal really but stiil a touch strange doing 80 and your speedo says 0, revs say 0 fuel and temp =0..

does anybody know where the speed sensor is located on a 1.8t?

also just to let you know had the h type coilpacks replaced when the car was in this morning with the L type

The crank speed sensor is at the front of the block just next to the bellhousing of the gearbox. You cant see much of it, just a plastic sensor usually held in with a 10mm bolt.
