Speed sensor in the diff. Z3

[Pond]

I need to remove my diff-mounted speed sensor to check it isn't clogged with crap, as part of my investigations as to why my speedo is playing up.

If I remove the sensor will diff oil pour (or dribble) out, or is it mounted above the oil level?

Thanks in advance.

It's above the oil fill plug so nothing will come out.

Most pictures of the diff back cover I have seen show the sensor above the max level plug.
If yours looks like this then YES, the sensor is above the oil level if it was filled correctly.

No oil loss i had to change the silver zeds one when i got it as when you were driving it speedo was pulsing and reading like 65 for a few seconds when doing 30 changed the diff sensor everything been fine since
Didn't see anything wrong with the old one its just 2 plastic fingers

found this pic online mine looked pretty much same but didn't work right with no obvious reason why.

Thanks for help peeps. I didn't need to remove the sensor, as my speedo is now working (although still don't know what the issue was).
