As far as the speed sensor error. If the engine is not running when he
pulled the codes, you will get engine speed sensor error code. This is
not faulty. Have him pull the codes again with the engine running to see
if he gets this code again.
Could the vibrations possibly be the engine missing? It could be
the infamous PSO (power stage ouput).

Subject: [s-cars] head gasket blown
Hey, i recently posted a list about a possible head gasket failure. I
brought my car to my mechanic and he said that if I had blown my head
gasket, I'd be leaking coolant and should see smoke coming from the
exhaust. These are not my symptoms though: I am getting strange
vibrations/possible knocking of engine even at idle, and it only occurs
sometimes after the engine has fully heated (to average temp.) My
mechanic did some diagnostics and Vag-com brought up error codes that
says one of my speed sensor parts or something to that degree had
failed, and he got no readings of engine gasket failure. anybody else
have a say on this? is the computer reading reliable enough to just go
with that?
