Golf Mk6 speed sensor problems, is there a permanent fix?
Discussion
A friend has had four speed sensors go on his Golf GTI Mk6 in two years. He thinks he has replaced one more than once. Each time he gets them replaced by a local garage. Is there a more fundamental problem here to fix, or does he need to just keep replacing them? I know VW speed sensors are a weak spot.
His wife drives the car and he doesn't like the ABS light being on because it kills the traction control, so now he's at the point where he wants to sell it. It's a good car otherwise, only 30,000 miles.

The garage he uses said he replaces them all the time on different VW models. I was in there and he was replacing speed sensors on a VW van. I'm pretty sure he puts decent replacements in, likely Bosch.
My Dad's last two cars have been Golfs...none have ever needed speed sensors.So if this garage is changing them often...either they are misdiagnosing problems, and/or using cheap parts.
Because it is not normal for the OEM cars to have this part failing often.
Get a new garage to fit OEM parts, and inspect to see if the previous garage have messed anything up.
