Kevin Bacon 5 Posted August 30, 2003 I keep get this on VAG-COM: 1 Faults Found: 00281 - Vehicle Speed Sensor (G68) 27-00 - Implausible Signal The speedo works just fine. Should I ignore it or replace the sensor? Cheers Kev Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supercharged 2 Posted August 30, 2003 Kev, Thats obviously when the car is stationary.... Do you think that somehow this is to do with something else at fault causing the 'brain' to think its moving - the faulty MAF sensor?? A long shot i know! - I take it that fault was not present before? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted August 30, 2003 Alright mate.... Yes the fact the car is stationary (engine running) would fool the brain, but wouldn't stationary ABS sensors report the same fault, which they don't? It's never come up before, so just thought I'd run it by the forum to get some suggestions. Speaking of MAFs, I took my old one out today and the hot wire and the little sensor plate in front of it was covered in shit. So I put some carb cleaner on a cotton bud and cleaned the wire and sensor. Runs like a dream now! Sorted your plugs out yet? Kev Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supercharged 2 Posted August 30, 2003 Yeah, I assumed you had already thought about it... Speaking of MAFs, I took my old one out today and the hot wire and the little sensor plate in front of it was covered in s***. So I put some carb cleaner on a cotton bud and cleaned the wire and sensor. Runs like a dream now! Doh! - can you cancel the one you ordered? Plugs - i need to before the rolling road day is sorted!!

Nope, it's already on it's way over from Germany :( I'll just hang onto it as a spare! Kev Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
