Marty;
FWIW here are some notes I took from the last time I checked it.
Reference page 90.21 in the Bentley. I used a decade resistance box  in
place of the VW tester #1301. For position I(temp needle just moves) the
resistance was 340 ohms. For position II(temp needle in too hot zone)
resistance equal to 30 ohms. By substituting the sensor with these value
resistors you could perform a rudimentary test.
I have heard that coolant dilution affects the resistance the sensor
sees.
Drive Safely & Good Luck
