Iv been asked by a mate to totaly wire his mk1 golf track car.
Engine is the late 2.0l 16v abf lump with Tb's and omex managment.
I am strugling with the cps. Its the one that bolts onto the back of the crank.
It has a 3 pin conector.
Question is, is it a Vr sensor or a Hall effect sensor ?
Omex have said its a Vr but I cant get a signal from it. The web is split on the subject, some saying one way some another.
Its making my head hurt. 
I just want to get it done so I can work on mine.

stop buggering around with it and finish your locost.......
Now then mate.
Yep I am doing some on mine at the same time lol.
I want it done by next spring as I dont want to do the iva thing. Mainly paying up the £500 
Going to get a sheet of ally in the morning to make the tunnel top and sides.

Three pin suggests Hall effect. Two would be more likely to be VR. You also need to configure the jumper on JP1 for Hall effect.
Yep thats what I was thinking.
But omex say the third pin is just the sheild, as it has a fly lead connection so it goes all the way to the sensor.
This is suported by some posts on the vw vortex forums.
I still think its a hall effect 
.
Yep I know its going to need a jumper for the Hall sensor. That will be a pain as they got lost in the post .
what the 'ell is "hall effect" ?!?!
