Well.. After I looked for this annoying sensor I find out this
There is no connector so maybe there is no
sensor? I can't post img..

Open VCDS, go to [03] ABS Brakes.

Open measuring blocks and look for wheel speed sensors.

I believe the Ibiza uses the wheel speed from the ABS sensor front left instead of a actual gearbox sensor.

You can spin the wheel or drive and see if they are all working, especially the front left.

But the fault code isn't in abs brakes just in engine mode, any way I'll check it again BTW I got cruise control but it doesn't work because of some reason. Maybe this fault code is responsible?
Or the cc responsible to this fault code?

No as above, if you don't have that connector it will use the signal from the front left ABS Sensor.

The CC won't work if it doesn't know all the parameters are correct.

Also have you cleared the fault to see if it reappears?

I did cleared the fault. It appear again after I a little spin but the check engine light appear after 2-3days. Something wired
I should remove the wheel to check this sensor?

You could remove the wheel and look but you won't be able to test its working unless you try the below.

If the sensor is working then there is a wiring fault from the ABS module and ECU.

I tried to check it out so 1. I took the car to a spin when I drove slow the fault code didn't appear but when I drove fast the fault code did appear. So I log the wheel speed sensor block on vagcom and they work pretty good without failure or something like that, so what next?.

Had a look, wiring goes from sensor to ABS module, to cluster and then to ECU. So something from cluster to ECU is not communicating correctly as I'm assuming your speedo still works?

Well the fault code just was there but after I bought vagcom the check engine light decided to appear, as I said before when I drive slowly the fault code don't appear but, when I just drive "hard" fast, the fault code is appear and check engine light appear 1-3 days after the fault code appear if am not clearing codes.
I didn't do anything

hi there from bulgaria :)
First sorry for my bad english.

I have this problem with bad communication from cluster to ecu and check engine light. . Cluster communicate with ecu with CAN high input signal , but i don't know how to check (CAN), high input signal .
thanks
