Will the GoWesty Vehicle Speed Sensor work with all Vanagon models?

The GoWesty Vehicle Speed Sensor is specifically designed for Vanagon vehicles equipped with a factory automatic or manual transmission and an original-style speedometer. It is not guaranteed to function with vehicles that have had engine swaps or significant modifications, so fitment and functionality can't be ensured in those cases.

Is this Speed Sensor easy to install on my Vanagon?

Yes, the GoWesty Vehicle Speed Sensor is designed for straightforward installation with no special tools required. It mounts at the back of your Vanagon’s speedometer. Detailed installation instructions are included, helping you quickly get your Vanagon speed sensor up and running.

What should I know about the warranty for this Vehicle Speed Sensor?

The GoWesty Vehicle Speed Sensor comes with a product warranty when installed as intended on factory-configured Vanagon vehicles. Please note that the warranty does not apply if the vehicle has an engine conversion or a non-stock electronic control unit, so be sure your Vanagon is equipped with the original engine and electronics before purchasing.

This GoWesty Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) is designed specifically for the Vanagon application. The GoWesty VSS is a hall effect sensor, which produces a square wave signal. This VSS can be used with any application requiring a square wave VSS signal.

The GoWesty VSS mounts to the back of the speedometer where VW fitted the NLA (no longer available) stock speed sensor on factory cruise control-equipped Vanagons. It can be used as a replacement for the stock speed sensor and simple instructions for this application are included.

*This VSS is intended to work with '84-91 speedometer housings that have a plastic snout for a snap-on speedometer cable. It will not work with speedometers that have a screw-on speedometer cable or a metal snout for a snap-on cable. If you check the cable attachment to your speedometer and find that you don't have a plastic snout for a snap-on cable, you will need to purchase one of our late '84-91 speedometers, sold separately.

The GoWesty VSS was designed in-house and is proudly manufactured in the USA.

Worked Great for Pioneer Head-unit Speed Sensor

After installing a pioneer head unit, I kept getting an error code for not having a speed sensor. It was driving me nuts. This VSS from Go Westy was installed in less than an hour and worked really well.
