vin split on 02 sensor
I have a 2001 225Q AMU. From what I have seen, there is a vin split on the rear O2 sensor.
But, depending upon where I look, I get a different vin split
https://www.ecstuning.com/Audi-TT_MK...Rear_Position/
http://www.rockauto.com/en/catalog/a...2)+sensor,5132
even more confusing is this - where there is no split
https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/aud...-quattro-16980
Can anyone shed some light on this? FWIW, my vin is TRUUT28N61101446, so it looks like I need a different part depending on which site I look at.

The best thing to do is call a dealer. The 2nd best thing is to use a dealer's part site that sells mail order (see the Sticky at the top of the thread). The next best thing is the ECS site but it is not perfect. The last thing I would do is use Rock Auto's site for an Audi or VW. It's fine for domestics and Asian cars though.

That will get me the OEM part, but i'm not paying OEM rates. I'd rather buy the Bosch part than the VW/Audi one. I ended up using the info on https://www.boschautoparts.com and ordered the Bosch part. $70 later, it's installed and all is well.
FWIW, I ran down the details on the two Bosch parts - 13678 and 13680. Both are the same sensor, difference is the wire length and the connector. So to be safe, I ordered the one with the longer wire. Had to loop a bit, but it worked.
