Is there any way to reflash firmware or something to get rid of this sensor? I'm fighting with mine, speedo does crazy dance sometimes and no-one can find where the fault is (I have one original and two new sensors that all behave the same)
Ah, that's a lot of stuff to changeThe sensor on the gearbox? This is used to feed the speedo and nothing else
If you flashed the firmware to remove the sensor then the speedo would no longer work unless you have the latter abs pump that provides pulse for the speedo from the and sensors
If you have tried multiple sensors (assuming you mean the speedo sensor on the gearbox) and all produce the same result then I would be looking at wiring or instrument cluster not the sensor

On a 1.2Tdi, it's used to compare gearbox output speed with engine revs to detect clutch slip. If things aren't as expected, the throttle is disabled.The sensor on the gearbox? This is used to feed the speedo and nothing else

Now it started to give up on the throttle pedal, just as you saidYou need a scan with VCDS. What are the exact symptoms?
It could be that the clearance between the output shaft and the sensor is excessive, which means that the sensor doesn't work correctly. If that's the case, a gearbox rebuild is required.
