The Vanagon-specific sensor for '86-91 Vanagons (a direct-fit OEM
replacement) is part number 13931, which is $123.50 with listmember
discount. The generic Ford style equivalent is 13913 (note number reversal)
for $39.95.  We stock both.  Both are by Bosch, which is the name brand and
the original equipment supplier to VW.

As with the '83-85 sensors, the overwhelming majority of our customers do
use the cheaper one with no problem. In fact I have had one on my own '89
Westy for two years so far. But like I said, we do carry both options, so
it's your call.  If you want to play it safe I'm more than happy to sell you
the $123 one.
