I think that part can be eliminated by jumpering around it...  at
least I think that's the part.  I don't have an air cooled, but a
buddy of mine who does had he's van refuse to start on a camping trip.
 After a couple hours of trying to sort out it out a phone call to a
VW mechanic suggested jumpering two of the contacts and viola it's ran
perfect ever since.  Anyway, I only "think" this is the same part you
are describing, but I'm not certain.  It was a California only part,
and no longer available from the factory.

I don't know how to hotwire/short/jumper it, just that it Can be done
without adverse affect.... if it's the same part I think it is...

Hope this is at least marginally helpful.
