• All the time, Chris. 
  
  And you can look up the coolant temp sensor for a MK1 VW, since what you have is essentially that.  Just look up on for a 1.6NA on a '82 rabbit or something.

• http://www.gowestyautoparts.com/ has them. Under "Belts and Cooling / Sensors."
  
  The black sensor is for the gauges I think should be the same gas or diesel.
