I think I mentioned the other day that the speedo didn't work in my new
2005 Golf TDI. Today I managed to get the car registered so I took a
minute to dig into the issue. Theres a vehicle speed sensor (VSS) that
lives on the differential which can cause my problem which is no speedo
and a randomly bouncy fuel gauge so I went looking for it. I'd spent a
little time before but its tucked on the rear of the transmission which
is right in front of the driver's seat (transverse engine remember) and
behind the air filter. Theres not much space in there so I pulled the
airbox (2 bolts and a nut although one bolt is missing) to get a better
look.
I finally found the wiring for the VSS but no VSS. I did find a thing
that looks a little like a transmission fluid dipstick. I *think* its
actually the bottom half of the VSS. The sensor is $25 so I just ordered
one. IDParts (my favorite VW supplier) is in MA so I usually get my
orders from them double quick. While I was at it I got a hinge repair kit
for the armrest, a known weak point some enthusiast has designed an
updated part which is supposed to be way stronger.
On a positive note the state says my car is worth $5500 vs the KBB value
of around $3500. That makes me feel good since I've already put double
what I paid for it into repairs and I haven't dealt with the front
fenders or bumper cover yet. Once I do the car will be pretty much
perfect though. Ready for many motoring miles...
