Default Engine Codes Pulled

hey, so i bought this audi 90Q last summer it and has been throwing the CEL whenever I get up to highway speeds. I figured it was just from the exhaust leak I have or the 02 sensors and when i checked the codes they were:

00281 Vehicle Speed Sensor
00282 Throttle Valve Posistion Sensor
00513 Engine Speed Sensor

Is anyone familiar with these codes, and if they're something to be concerned about? Thanks for any help!

1995 I got the descriptions but is it something that I really need to worry about? I mean could this be a cheap fix or worth it if the car isn't even running bad?

Well the codes are being thrown for a reason...I'd figure out why before the car leaves you stranded
