Dave, yes the part #'s are different because they have been superceeded
umpteen times by VW. They started out as 211-905-351 SS to 211-905-351-B
SS to 211-905-351-D & finally to 191-905-351-B witch comes with the heat
sink. They all will work on 80-89 cars the whole difference is in the
wiring. Different ignition systems for some reason use different pin #'s
to trigger the hall sender. One example is my 80 "S" that I put an 86 8v
GTI knock sensor ingition system into, all I did was use the plug from the
GTI with my stock ingition module & wala done deal. So if your trying to
trouble shoot & want to try your extra one, Go for it!!!!
