I'm so confused..Is this the vehicle speed sensor that controls the speedo? It wasn't held on with a hex screw like a few said. Just a clip. It actually just came right out of the hole still connected to the harness. I have a 2000 a4q 1.8. Oh and I can't find any place that sells it. Every time I do a search I come up with ABS Speed Sensors, which I don't think causes the speedo to die right?

Notice the other sensor on top. What is that?

call your local Audi dealership tell them you need the vehicle speed sender located on the transmission. Give them your vin. Ask how much and how long.

Guess she thought it needed an oil change and brought it to one of those "That 10min oil change" places. Oh well.

But I have a question. Is that what the speed sensor looks like (just two wires, one with a plastic sleeve) or do you think something broke off inside?

That story sounds unbelievably made up.

But then again, what do I know? ;-p

no one would borrow a car and just decide "hmmm, i think this car needs an oil change"

But is he a "competent mechanic"?

I would have backhanded her if she brought it to a place like that! She knows better.

But I do the oil changes myself cause I don't trust anyone working on any of my cars, specially with something like an oil change.

I used to work at a garage that would take the drain plug off and just turn the car over a couple times.. they claimed it made the oil come out faster.
