Hopefully we have a parts number expert on here?
I am looking to to replace a rain light sensor on a late 2013 (2014 model mk7 GTi)
The part number on the actual part fitted to the car is 5Q0955547.
I have found a new replacement part for sale which is 5Q0955547A. (only difference is A at the end!)
It looks very similar, but a slight difference in the lower section.The mounting clamp looks the same and the electrical connector at the top is the same.
As I have the non "A", I asked the seller if this was just an upgraded part and would it be ok for the mark7 GTi. He said it was a different part and not suitable.
Is this the case? I can't see why VW would make so many different parts to be used on so many models?
Looking for parts online, another site shows the OEM part numbers are comparable??

Many thanks!
