Keep your speedometer reading true and your transmission shifting on cue with the Walker Products Vehicle Speed Sensor 240-1790. It drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications: the 2000-2004 Volkswagen Beetle, 2000-2006 Volkswagen Golf, and 2000-2005 Volkswagen Jetta.

  • Core job: Reads the rotational speed of the transmission output/driveline and sends that signal to the vehicle's control module and speedometer.
  • Direct-fit replacement: Made to install in place of the original sensor on the listed applications.
  • Signals a range of systems: The speed signal is used by the speedometer, transmission shift control, and cruise control.

Signs this sensor may need replacing include an erratic or inoperative speedometer, erratic or harsh shifting, cruise control that won't engage, and an illuminated check engine light. Because these symptoms can have other causes, diagnose the fault before replacing — if a failed speed sensor is confirmed as the cause, this unit replaces it.

Interchange: Manufacturer part number 240-1790 (also 2401790).
