I'm fixing up our 2003 A4 Quattro 1.8TM so I can teach my 16 y-o to drive on a manual transmission car. (I'm not being a Bean Dad here, she is into this.) It only has about 105k miles, but we don't have a garage and the car has suffered various insults over the years from ODOT road salt, parking lot hit & runs, squirrel blocking the battery drain with an acorn, and so forth. I finally broke down and bought VCSD from Ross-Tech (I don't know why I didn't do this earlier, it's worth the money) and I'm working through the faults. Next on the list is the oil level sensor. VCSD says "30-00 - Open or Short to Plus". I figured it might take a while to trace to open connection, but it is pretty obvious!

I've purchased the parts recommended by @old guy from ECS:
I also got a new OEM oil level sensor since the one above is looking pretty beat-up, but I'm not going to swap that out (unless I have to) until the next oil change.
Question: is there another 3-pin connector somewhere on the "wiring harness" side I can rewire, or do I need to splice to the wires dangling below the A/C compressor? The
Audi web site is pretty good for part numbers but not much help on wiring diagrams.
Thanks!
