wheel speed sensor

[Shafs]

I need to buy a rear left wheel speed sensor and I found one online but it didn't say if it was the right or left rear just rear. so I asked them and the reply was the rear ones are the same part number. are they correct

According to Google, the wheel speed sensors are unique from front to back, and left to right on a MK5 Golf. Part numbers according to Google are below:

Front right: WHT-003-856
Front Left: WHT-003-857

Rear right: WHT-003-858 WHT003858 - Speed Sensor (Right) – VAGPARTS Australia
Rear left: WHT-003-859 WHT003859 - Speed Sensor (Left) – VAGPARTS Australia

I would suggest getting in touch with either VAGParts to confirm before buying.
