Yes the 2.1 use two different switches. The higher pressure switch located on the rear of the engine under the water pump should be grey, .9 Bar. Note this switch is reverse operation, normally open closing (turning on) when pressure is sufficient. Most of the other VW engines use a white switch, 1.8 Bar.

and I likely jumbled up what I thought I knew about the switches. But in principle, you want to use the switch that is equivalent to the way the vehicle came from the factory.
