Vehicle speed sensor replacement.

Post by 8520 » Wed May 23, 2018 8:23 pm

Getting a code for the vehicle speed sensor, and after a bit of googling, don’t really have an solid answer.

Is it possible to replace the vss with the engine in? Supposedly book time for the job is .5 hours, but I found a few people saying that upon attempt to remove the sensor was hitting the turbo and they weren’t able to remove it.

From experience, the crankshaft sensor is the one that hits the turbo line. I think the speed sensor is on the gearbox - nearside front prop shaft
