Detailed Description

Delphi SS12516 is engineered for vehicles that rely on a precise speed signal for drivability and transmission-related functions. Delphi validates its sensors to OE standards and calibrates them for accurate output, helping maintain consistent signal quality in service. This part number is a direct-fit option for many Volkswagen and Audi models, including 2013-2018 Volkswagen Jetta, 2012-2018 Volkswagen Passat, 2013-2017 Volkswagen Beetle, 2013-2017 Volkswagen CC, 2015-2016 Audi A3, 2011-2016 Audi TT Quattro, 2015-2016 Audi TTS Quattro, 2011-2013 Audi TTS Quattro, 2012-2016 Volkswagen Eos, 2013-2014 Volkswagen Golf, and 2013-2014 Volkswagen GTI. If you are searching for a Volkswagen Jetta vehicle speed sensor or an Audi TT Quattro speed sensor, Delphi SS12516 is built for those applications.

What It Helps Fix

• Inaccurate or erratic vehicle speed readings
• Speedometer signal loss or intermittent operation
• Transmission shift concerns related to missing speed input
• ABS or drivability faults caused by poor sensor signal
• Check engine lights tied to vehicle speed sensor performance

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify connector style, terminal count, and harness length before installation. Confirm the vehicle application by year, make, and model, especially on Volkswagen Passat, Volkswagen Jetta, and Audi A3 fitments. Inspect the mating connector and wiring for corrosion or damage before connecting the new sensor. Clear diagnostic trouble codes after installation and road test the vehicle to confirm proper speed signal operation.

Quality Assurance

Delphi backs this sensor with OE development and product validation methods, and each unit is tested and calibrated to OE standards for consistent performance in service.
