   Hello Peopel i have done a search but i still dont really know :/ .... i need to locate and replace the speed sensor that drives the speedo i did replace a sensor a while ago thinking it was the speed sensor but obviously not i serioulsy do need to replace this so any pics diagrams information would be awsome. i have tryed changing the dials 3 times as well just to let you know .. but me being a total noob it still hasnt done the trick .. it is bugging me now .. also while i am here .. as i have fitted vtr clocks now my temp gauge doesnt work .. am i right in thinking it is the blue plug/sensor on the left of the engine block infront of the air box and i need a 2 pin sensor for any 1.4-1.6 saxo/ pug??
   
   again guys and gals cheers for any help given

   Hi Curt,
   
   
   
   ..
   
   Pictures of the Vehicle Speed Sensor above. It's above the driver's side driveshaft on the gearbox.

   Hi Curt,
   
   Yes the blue connector plug is the engine temp sensor.

   Number 6 hex bit for the speedometer / vehicle speed sensor bolt
   6mm hex allen key / bit - really simple to remove, just awkward to get to...
