you my son are an absolute star

 

Vss 2 runs off your gearbox to either the speedo cable and then runs to your speedo or via an electric loom.

If its a cable it may have come loose if its an import it could be the derestrictor.

If its the electric variety the derestrictor chips can fail.

i bought a sh vvs for £20 from a breakers - but finally found the error to be a badly wired turbo timer.

 

changed my ecu to an apexi one and the problem seems to have stopped???
must of been the ecu???

 

Unlikely the Apexi just monitors the speed signal.. it doesn't use it.. unlike the original ecu with speed limiter on.
Therefore no problem on the Apexi.

so is it going to cause me anymore problems with the apexi pfc or would it be wise to replace the speed sensor??

 

it won't cause any problems no..

if you were to fit an Apexi AVC-R it might cause a problem with the gear judge set up if the speed sensor is not function correctly.

I assume your speed works fine?

yes the speed is fine on the speedo but it wont show my actuall speed on the fcc
do you know where the speed sensor is located?? what it looks like etc??
where would i get one without going to the main stealer??
i tried the sight listed above but the pic wasn`t very helpfull

 

as i said in my original post

vss is on the gearbox if you look to the right of the downpipe on the gearbox you will see it - i also have 2 spare

is it a manual drive or electronic
