OVERVIEW
Genuine VW/Audi WHT-005-651-A is an individual wheel-speed sensor for the confirmed Touareg applications below. It supplies wheel-speed information to the anti-lock braking system. The matching sensor is used at any of the four wheel positions on these assigned applications.
Technical details and what is included
- Factory part number: WHT-005-651-A / WHT005651A.
- Component type: ABS wheel-speed sensor.
- Assigned wheel positions: front left, front right, rear left and rear right.
- Quantity supplied: one sensor; order the quantity required for the diagnosed repair.
- Forward replacement numbers: 7P0-927-807, 7P0-927-807-A and WHT-005-651 where assigned by the vehicle catalog.
The sensor has its own connector and mounting feature. Compare the original connector profile, mounting location and vehicle-specific part assignment before ordering. A sensor fitted to another platform or carrying a different revision requires separate verification. Wiring, mounting hardware, wheel bearing and the ABS control unit are separate repair components.
Common reasons to replace
- A diagnosed electrical fault inside the wheel-speed sensor.
- Physical damage to the sensor body or connector.
- An unreliable wheel-speed signal traced to this sensor after circuit and wheel-end checks.
- A damaged sensor discovered during wheel-end service.
An ABS or stability-control warning does not by itself prove that the sensor has failed. Inspect the wiring, connector terminals and wheel-end signal-generating components, and compare diagnostic wheel-speed readings before replacing parts. Repair a wiring or bearing-related problem separately when testing identifies that cause.
Vehicle fitment
Match the factory part assignment at the wheel being serviced. The listed engine and year profiles require the original compatible sensor and connector arrangement.
| Vehicle | Model years | Engine | Configuration | Application restrictions |

Confirm VIN, production date, original sensor and connector. Forward replacement for 7P0927807, 7P0927807A and WHT005651 where assigned; one sensor supplied, not a four-wheel set. |
| Volkswagen Touareg | 2011–2015 | 3.0L supercharged gasoline full hybrid V6 | 7P Hybrid; all-wheel drive; Original eight-speed automatic | Front left, front right, rear left or rear right wheel-speed sensor assigned WHT005651A. Confirm VIN, production date, original sensor and connector. Forward replacement for 7P0927807, 7P0927807A and WHT005651 where assigned; one sensor supplied, not a four-wheel set. |
Installation and service guidance
Follow the factory wheel-speed sensor removal procedure for the selected axle and corner. Inspect the mounting bore and connector for contamination, damage or corrosion, and prepare the seating area according to the repair information.
Do not force the replacement into an incompatible bore or connector. Seat the sensor fully and secure it with the specified hardware and tightening procedure. Protect the electrical connection and check the surrounding harness routing during reassembly.
After installation, perform the prescribed diagnostic checks, clear relevant fault memory after the repair and verify the wheel-speed signal under the factory test procedure. Complete any required road test only after the brake system and wheel-end assembly have been properly reassembled. Use the vehicle repair information for exact fastener specifications and diagnostic limits.
