Vemo V10-72-1281 Vehicle Speed Sensor

Vehicle Speed Sensor for Automatic Transmissions

The Vemo V10-72-1281 vehicle speed sensor is an aftermarket transmission speed sensor for select Audi, BMW, and Volkswagen applications. It is built for 5-speed automatic transmission use and supports accurate speed signal input at the valve body or gearbox location, depending on vehicle application.

Use this VEMO sensor when diagnosing speed signal faults on Audi A4, A6 Quattro, A8 Quattro, BMW 3 Series and 5 Series models, and Volkswagen Passat or Phaeton applications. The V10-72-1281 is identified by code G182 and uses a 2-pole electrical connection.

Product Details

The VEMO product line focuses on electrical and sensor components for European vehicles, and this transmission speed sensor follows that application-specific approach. The V10-72-1281 is used in automatic transmission systems where the control unit relies on a stable speed signal for shifting behavior and drivetrain monitoring. If you are replacing a failed transmission speed sensor on a Volkswagen Passat, Audi A6 Quattro, or BMW Z4, this part number provides a direct aftermarket reference for the listed applications.

This part cross-references 1 219 316 and 01V 927 321 A for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Erratic or delayed automatic transmission shifting
• Transmission speed signal faults stored in the control module
• Inaccurate vehicle speed input to the transmission system
• Intermittent drivability issues related to valve body speed sensing
• Replacement needs for a worn or failed G182 sensor

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the transmission code and sensor location before ordering, especially on Audi A4, A4 Quattro, and A6 Quattro applications with valve body-mounted sensors. Verify the 2-pole connector style and compare the original sensor dimensions to the V10-72-1281 before installation. Clean the mounting area and inspect the connector and wiring for corrosion or damage during replacement.
