DOn,
     Its really easy to wire in.  The sensor is built into the newer
style expansion
tank on the Jetta/Golfs.  Just like the original 86-91 vanagons tanks.
I believe
the GOlf/Jetta started using these in 1988 thru present.  The bottle is
perfectly
round.  Look up  a 93 Jetta.   ALthough I've seen other style sensors in the
expansion tanks, this looked to be the best style.  Avaliable in scrap yards
everywhere.
                                                                    JOE. w
