[V8] Engine Speed Sensor

[bblake1055 at aol.com]

 Jeremy,
 
Great right up on the RPM replacement proceedure.  
 
I'm having second thoughts on my original "fault Codes"
 
I took the new VAG-COM software an starting pulling codes on some of the other V8's and guess what??
 
"Rpm Sensor - No Signal"  The I started the car up and it went away.  How dumb can I be?????
 
I guess there wouldn't be a signal if the car is not tuning over!!  Today I am going to try it again and crank over the engine at the same time.
 
To make things worse the Interface for the Vag-Com is sporadic and I have to keep re-booting the computer to get rid of the "UBS Interface not found"
 
I'm starting to think "Audi Connection" is the way to go with this one.
 
Bob

upload Scott!

Bob, by the time you replace the 10th one on your 5th V8, you should have
this procedure down pat.  ;-)

HTH,

Link goes to photo of the sensor connectors.  The  sensors themselves are
8-10 inches of wire lower down the engine.  Actually, I think the housing
for the sensors is part of the bellhousing.  They sense the flywheel, I
believe.
