OK, if your Cabriolet has Digifant injection it will work. Provided both
cars were intended for the US market.

Eric, like my signature states I am in Seattle, WA. I would be very
interested in a pic or even a corresponding page number in a Bentley manual
that labels a Digifant ISV with 3 wires. Even a link to someone elses engine
with a 3 wire ISV on a Digifant engine.
No animosity intended. I work on these cars every day. I own quite a few and
have been doing this for 10+ years. In all that time I never seen a three
wire ISV on a Digifant equipped VW engine.
