Except for color the temp 2 sensor connector is the same as the injectors
and lots of other stuff in fuel injection systems. You can even find
pigtails in the Help and Cal-term collections in the FLAPS! Common on may GM
systems also. I like the connectors with the raised release clip so they can
be disconnected easily when needed. Use good sealed butt splices to join the
wires.

Engine cold, you will loose very little coolant swapping the temp II sensor.
Good to have a catch pan handy though. One might use the O-ring over again
but that's a cheap part and wise to replace with the new sensor. Good to
have several new ones on hand too IMO.

Sometimes the wires to the temp II connector can be old and brittle so
repairing those can make the job longer. If the connector is old and
brittle, I gather that's something that can be found in the bone yard on
other similar vintage VW's.
