alfa romeo 155 8 valve vehicle speed sensor fault

[Roshambow]

HELP!ive got an alfa 155 silverstone 8 valve which has got a faulty vehicle speed sensor and no one stocks this part anymore even alfa,its currently unplugged but the car is fairly horrible to drive with hesitations and poor throttle response

If you can get the part number,then you can take that part number to mangolesti,or EB spares as it might be the same as 75,164,or check on eBay,you can always find treasure like that on there..hope this helps

[Roshambow]

ive been keeping an eye on ebay and nothing as yet but will definately try eb spares thanks.

[f1lmm]

No problem,let us know how you get on bud.

[alfa.chris]

PM you

[Roshambow]

asked eb spares this morning and same result,part no longer made/available

[f1lmm]

Mangolesti,have you tried them?.

[celadon]

'scuse my ignorance.

What is the vehicle speed sensor ? Do you mean the speedometer sender unit, or a cam or crank sensor ?

From the hesitation, i'm assuming the cam sensor ??

[Roshambow]

i tried mangolesti also,ive only heard of it referred to as the vehicle speed sensor but it sounds like the same thing as you metion,it controls the speedo,mileometer and tells the ecu that the car is moving rather then stationary,i think,anyway thanks for the help because alfa.chris has come through with a used one,hopefully solves the problem

the speed sensor from alfa.chris arrived today,its fitted and the car is once again driving as an alfa should.Thanks for the advice peeps and thanks alfa.chris for sending it to me,its amazing isnt it that all these parts specialists failed where this forum succeded,big thanks once again

[alfa.chris]

Nice to know it's all sorted

[Roshambow]

another thing has reared its ugly head,the speedo isnt working but the car drives properly,the one thing i noticed when i fitted the speed sensor the drive gear that goes into the speed sensor is bent,could this cause the lack of speedo although it was working prior to new speed sensor,confused!
