OVERVIEW
Genuine VW/Audi WHT-003-860 is an individual right-front wheel-speed sensor for the original ABS-related sensor arrangement assigned this factory part number. It supplies the wheel-speed signal from that specific position to the vehicle's matching control system.
Technical details and what is included
- Factory part number: WHT-003-860 / WHT003860.
- Installation position: right front.
- Component type: wheel-speed sensor with its original connector and mounting profile.
- Quantity supplied: one individual sensor.
- Wiring harness, wheel bearing/encoder and mounting fastener are separately specified.
Match the original sensor number, electrical connection, mounting profile and encoder arrangement before ordering. The original left-front sensor is separately assigned WHT003861, and rear sensor variants have separate applications. Position and revision matter; this is not a universal four-corner sensor.
Common reasons to replace
- Factory diagnosis identifies a failed right-front wheel-speed sensor.
- The sensor body, mounting feature or connector is physically damaged.
- A diagnosed signal fault requires renewal of the original sensor at this location.
- The component is damaged during wheel bearing, hub or adjacent service.
Inspect the wiring, connector, mounting bore and wheel-speed encoder arrangement independently. A new sensor does not repair a damaged harness, encoder or control unit. Diagnose the source of an ABS or wheel-speed signal fault before selecting replacement components.
Vehicle fitment
These applications require the original right-front sensor arrangement assigned WHT003860. Confirm the exact original part and position before ordering; later sensor revisions and other wheel positions require separate verification.

Installation and service guidance
Follow the factory electrical isolation and wheel-speed sensor replacement procedure for the assigned front wheel. Release the original connector and mounting fastener without pulling on the wiring, and avoid damaging the surrounding hub or encoder components.
Inspect and prepare the mounting bore according to the repair information, then seat the matching replacement sensor correctly. Use the prescribed fastening arrangement and restore the original harness route without strain or contact with moving components.
Complete the prescribed diagnostic and wheel-speed signal checks after assembly, along with any required fault-memory or system verification. Refer to the vehicle repair information for exact tightening values and test procedures.
