As was posted earlier, the Bosch 3-wire 13913 is correct for 16v 
Scirocco applications.  (Trust me, I've gone thru THREE.)  I have 
gotten them pretty inexpensively at Pep Boyz as well as Potterman. 
May be worth checking if you need it right away.

You need to do a very, very good job of soldering the wires, or else 
it doesn't work right (thus, the three...).

I was thinking of harvesting the wiring from a Ford and splicing its 
connector into my harness so that I could just plug them in when they 
need replacing.  The upstream end of my harness is now too short to 
do this trick again, so next time I will need a "real" 16v one or 
need to do this Ford graft.

Anyone done that?  Gotten Ford wiring and spliced it in?

I should do this as a Tech Procedure....
