I shouldnt have thought it would make much difference which way round they went aslong as the correct wiring goes with each sender but im not an expert so thats a guess. You cant go wrong changing the sensor. Take off the plug by squeezing the two prongs together. Pull out the locking pin in the side of the sensor and lift sensor out. You may need a new rubber but I just reused the old one cos I forgot to order one from vw. Dont do this when the engines warm though or ya gonna get scolded.

You don't need the part number. Just tell the dealer ship what it is you want and they should not find a problem. Your engine code will be PB if it is an 8V digifant.
It doe not matter which way the sensors are fitted. ie, black and blue. They both sense the water temp in the same place so don't worry about that.
