For the 1.8T, the sensor is located near the oil filter, set back into a small alcove just above the oil pan and between the oil filter and the end of the engine block nearest the transmission. It's easiest to reach it from below. BEFORE YOU REMOVE IT: it's a good idea to clean up as much grime from the area as possible so you don't intorduce more dirt into that area. There is a 10mm bolt above the sensor; remove it completely. (You'll need about 2" length on the socket.) Then you need to wrestle the sensor out. There's an O-ring on the sensor that prevents it from coming out easily, although it will rotate in place. I had to pry mine out using a screwdriver. Once you pop it out 1/8" it will then be free. Pull it straight out. I don't have any knowledge about other engines, sorry.

What is a VW Jetta engine speed sensor?

The engine speed sensor provides the ECM with a crankshaft position signal. The ECM uses the signal to determine a crankshaft reference point (Top Dead Center) and calculate engine speed (RPM.) The signal is also used by the On-Board Diagnostic system for misfire detection. The ignition system will not operate if the ECM does not receive an engine speed sensor input.
