I got my replacment from Mike@VWP for about $50...cut the harnesses,
soldered em together, shrink-wrapped the mess, and pulled the plastic
heat shield back down over the shrink-wrapped wires.  Installed and
working great.  The wire are easy, the two blacks are the for the
pre-heater, while the white wire is the signal.  Don't get any anti-
seize on the sensor portion, it'll ruin it.

later!
