The one in their photo is a Vanagon 251 906 457 A, see the VDO logo on
the side of the case and the and the two pin connector? They're
selling it under the WRONG part number, that's all. Wouldn't be the
first time I've seen this happen with parts with mis-matched photos
and part numbers.
If you would like, I would be happy to pmail you a photo of the true
034 133 455 F for comparison
