I´m from Panama City an d I have a 1999 automatic (AEG) with issues in 2 transmission sensors... the question is: How can I know the transmission type?
VIN 3VWCA21C2XM444...
Thanks

You should have an O1M 4-speed auto. Unless they are different codes out of the US. But I think the O1M is the same across the board. Unless you need a specific trans code. It should be on the transmission itself.

i have a canadian new beetle... and i have this error codes... my mech says that is the speed and impulse sensors... but nobody at the shop can confirm that... they need the transmission type
im completely clueless
thanks for your time

The car will throw the appropriate codes. I don't see why they need to know the trans code for that. Its an automatic and should be an O1M AFAIK.

Info on the codes:

00281 - Ross-Tech Wiki
00281 - Vehicle Speed Sensor (G68): No Signal
Possible Causes

Wiring/Connectors faulty
Vehicle Speed Sensor (G68) faulty

Possible Solutions

Check Wiring/Connectors
Check Vehicle Speed Sensor (G68)
See Measuring Value Blocks (MVB)

00297 - Ross-Tech Wiki
00297 - Gearbox Speed Sensor (G38): No Signal
Possible Causes

Wiring/Connectors faulty
Water damage at connector
Transmission Vehicle Speed Sensor (G38) faulty

Possible Solutions

Check Wiring/Connectors
Check Transmission Vehicle Speed Sensor (G38)
See Measuring Value Blocks (MVB)

Special Notes

On some 01M Transmissions, the terminal connectors for the G38 and G68 are the same and can be mixed up. This can give an "Implausible Signal". Verify sensors have the correct connectors using the wiring diagram.

Hopefully this helps.
