VSS on 306 (Vehicle speed sensor)

I have just bought a 306 1,9 td (P reg) for a friend. I need to sort the a/c out as it's not working.

The concerning part for me is that I have found the vss wrapped around a water pipe and not plugged into the gearbox.

Couple of questions.

1) can anyone tell me where this locates as I cant find the access point.
2) what is the function of the vss as the speedo is working fine!

Cheers all
Ray

are you sure its not the engine speed sensor rather than the vehicle speed sensor ? the speedo would not work if it was the vss.
Does your car have a rev counter ? does it work ?

Hi,
The rev counter works. I assume it's a vss as the cable is thick black with approx 1.5" snsor on the end . It looks as though it could be the vss but as the speedo etc work I wasn't sure of it's function. Timing maybe?

Can you post a pic of the plug/sensor ?
what colour is the plug & how many pins does it have ?
