Indeed, the -E sensor is the wrong one. The .9bar is 068-919-081-A,
according to ETKA6. If they can't follow numbers, tell 'em it needs the
GREY one, not the WHITE one!

The ETKA shows it as an alternate for the wasserboxer in the same position
as the .9bar, for some reason, and offers no explaination. The same page
shows the 1.4bar sensor for the diesel going where it goes for that engine,
so it's obviously not a mis-labelled diesel sensor. Perhaps some T3's
somewhere use some sort of higher pressure system? Doesn't make much sense
to me.
