Default Go here, hit the dealer locator at the top of the page.

I'm trying to decide if I'm going to install mine today, or if that's a project for another day. I'm about to go finish a timing belt replacement.<ul><li><a href="http://rb-kwin.bosch.com/en-AU/start/gb_benzin.html">Bosch Australia</a></li></ul>

Default You didnt mention why you want a speed sensor.

Were you aware that the Speed Sensor code is normally from hitting the rev limiter a few times?

Funny thing the spped sensor. I was getting the dreaded 16705 Engine Speed Sensor and with a code of (G28) Implausible Signal. The car was dying and idle and chopping along while driving. I followed the Bentley manual to test with a VOM to measure the Ohms and it tested out okay, however I replaced it anyway and the problem went away and runs smoother than ever! I paid about $140 from the stealer as it was convient and they had it in stock. I think you can find them around $80-90 online, but then with shipping etc.. that is why I bought it locally. Good luck!
