I do not know any specifics of the Touareg, but speed sensors are
typically inductive (using a hall-effect transistor plus a FET to
provide a low impedance output). The VSS can not be on the crankshaft as
it needs to measure wheel rotation not engine rotation. Look towards the
output side of the transmission. Mine (Honda) has three wires going to
it: ground, battery voltage and output.
