What is this sensor for?

Hi all,

I stripped the 02m gearbox from my 1.8T as I plan to fit an 02a for my conversion. Whilst cleaning the gearbox up ready to sell I've knocked this sensor off. What's it for? Should I replace it before selling the box? I feel like I should.Cheers, Andy.

The box in the pic is not the one I'm selling.

I don't know anything about this gearbox but I would guess its the reversing light switch as that's normally the only sensor/switch on a gearbox. I could be wrong…..

if its 3 pin its speed sensor, if 2 pin its reverse. doubt its reverse mind, thats usually on the shifter housing.

it could be though its part of the 4wd setup, but im pretty sure it'll be your speedo sender.

either way, let the buyer deal with it! if they want an 02m they'll not have a problem forking out the little bit extra for the sender! plus if its a replacement for a bust one they can re-use the old one

Yeah it's a 3 pin so must be the speed sensor. Thanks for the info John, much appreciated

Andy.

I've got a speed sensor from a g60 box you can have if that fits/works? 

If jonny says it works il stick it in the post for you. 

Nice one Brad, cheers mate!!

No bother. See what RJ says and go from there 

if its anything like older type the plastic part will unscrew and you can swap that over. but looking at etka 5 and 6 speed senders differ!

Cheers for the info John. We'll just leave Brad. Thanks for your offer though mate, much appreciated

No bother pal.
