« on: 22 July 2006, 15:03 »
Anyone no where the engine speed sensor is located in a mk3 2.0 16v? is it on or near the gearbox/flywheel? i have a fualt code which tells me my idle rpm is to high do i change the speed sensor or can i adjust it another way?  :smiley:

Isnt there an idle screw on the throttle? I would try adjusting this first.

No, ABF engine ECU sets the idle speed.
