VW Volkswagen Phaeton Mk1 YAW Rate Acceleration Speed Sensor 3D0616576D

VW Volkswagen Phaeton Mk1 YAW Rate Acceleration Speed Sensor is a specialized component of the ABS speed sensor system, designed for precise control of the anti-lock braking system in the first-generation luxury Phaeton sedan. This Volkswagen branded component is sourced from vehicle dismantling, allowing for an economical yet technically sound repair of the braking system while maintaining factory performance parameters.

Specifications and technical data

• SKU: 3D0616576D
• Mark: Volkswagen
• Condition: Used
• OEM Part Number: 3D0616576D
• Substitutable numbers: 3D0616576D, 3D0 616 576 D
• Category: ABS Speed Sensors

Purpose and function in the ABS system

The presented sensor is responsible for monitoring acceleration and wheel rotational speed, and then transmitting this data to the ABS controller. A properly functioning component of this type:

• stabilizes the braking system during emergency braking,
• supports the operation of traction control and electronic stability control systems,
• reduces the risk of wheel slippage in low-grip conditions,
• ensures consistency of speed readings between individual wheels.

Thanks to the use of an original Volkswagen Group solution, the correct signal characteristics are maintained, which is crucial for proper cooperation with the Phaeton Mk1 electronics.

Benefits of using an original Volkswagen sensor

Choosing a used, factory-made acceleration and wheel speed sensor for the Phaeton allows you to maintain the integrity of the entire braking system. The original component:

• is structurally matched to the mounts and electrical harnesses in this model,
• maintains compatibility with the ABS controller software,
• minimizes the risk of diagnostic errors and warning lights,
• allows for predictable vehicle behavior in emergency situations.

For users who value the comfort and safety characteristic of the Phaeton, using an original Volkswagen group component is a reasonable compromise between repair costs and performance quality.

Product characteristics and condition

The offered sensor is sourced from dismantling, which means it is a used part intended for further operation after proper installation. Such components are frequently chosen for servicing premium vehicles, where maintaining factory specifications while optimizing costs is a priority. This type of ABS speed sensor is suitable both for typical post-failure repairs and for the staged restoration of the braking system in an older Phaeton Mk1.

Professional installation and diagnostics

To fully utilize the potential of this element, installation by a workshop experienced with the Volkswagen brand and with access to appropriate diagnostic tools is recommended. After installation, it is advisable to:

• read error codes and clear stored codes in the ABS controller,
• verify sensor operating parameters in real-time,
• check the condition of other braking system components, including cables and mounts.

This approach allows for restoring the proper operation of the ABS system and maintaining predictable vehicle behavior in various road conditions.

If you are planning a comprehensive repair or upgrade of the braking zone in your Volkswagen and need other elements from the same group, such as additional sensors, signal cables, or modules cooperating with the ABS, check the available parts in the Volkswagen ABS speed sensor category.

When selecting used braking system components – including sensors responsible for measuring wheel speed – it is worth following a proven verification and installation procedure.
