[Mk2] [Turbo] Speed sensor and boost gauge??????

Post by les »

Have error code 42 no speed signal, need to know where the speed sensor is and how to test. its rev3 so no speedo cable. also the boost gauge reads positive boost all the time even on tickover. car has been stood for 2 years and ran for the last 5 months but these have not settled down, any ideas.

Cheers

speedo sensor is on the gearbox, if you look down the engine on the dizzy side, it's hiding there. It could be wiring or possibly the plastic cog chewed by the gearbox - nothing too serious but you will need a new one... positive boost reading possibly a split hose somewhere..

..the only thing I can promise for sure is slow progress.

just have this niggling thought that if I rip out the wiring, then the car will never get out of the garage again.

Still in the garage...
