I used the Bosch catalog to look up the Bosch number, then cross referenced
it to the VW number.

ETKA can be really vaguen, and I really hate that "part number unknown"
message.  They know the part number, they just won't tell.... rotten
bastards ;)

They probably omit part numbers for items that aren't sold through the
regular VW channels.  And since this hall sender is sold through Bosch's
channels, it's omitted.

Cheers,

You very well could be correct; ETKA is very confusing in this area.  The
"exploded" page of distributor parts for the MV engine is the same
illustration as that for the CV engine, and clicking on the Hall Sender
gives me a "part number unknown" in my version of ETKA.  On the other hand,
when I click on the Hall Sender on the "exploded" distributor parts page for
the CV engine it seems to indicate to me that this also fits the later
water-cooled distributors.  Confusing!
