I have a pair. dirt cheap. they are from an ALH ,but i'm pretty sure they're the same, because i did exactly that in the 98 jetta i had, which is still running fine after 5 years and 100,000 kms. PM me if you want, i can get them in the mail tomorrow.

Based on what Myke is saying here it looks like ALH/AHU/1Z are the same, or at least close enough
