Working out the various gremlins and now onto the Speed sensor that doesn't register on my 2006 RS3. So I'll have the old style dash. Does anyone have an idea where this gets pulled from (ex sensor on a wheel or calculated from drive gear)?

Thanks much,
Mark

Should be a sensor on one of the front wheels. If I remember correctly it had something to do with the bolts on the wheelhub.

Strangely enough, similar query currently being discussed on ROC Forum, albeit a much later car >

Is the (left hand) wheel speed sensor reading?; if it is, is it info pulse reaching the dash itself and if so, is the dash configured correctly to read it? For example, if it is set to read the wheel, is the correct diameter entered?; if there is a GPS and the dash is configured to read it, is the GPS working correctly?

You can bone up and download software via AIM's own site, remembering that there have been several different dash types over the years.

Hi, It was me who had the issue on the ROC forum. I basically gave up in the end as I could not get it sorted, I went to radical and the dash manufacturer (cant remember their name AIM?) and the result was no change, although I did manage to part with a few quid though! (new wheel sensor + dash data cable)...did you mange to get yours fixed.

Would be nice to get it working though

Cheers Gareth
