Yes on different part number. VDO makes gauges with all manner of ranges including a 0 to 90 ohm and a 90 to 0 ohm. It’s confusing as all get out when trying to match gauges and senders.

I always knew the original gauge was wonky, then it was still wonky with a new sender, and still wonky with the new sender that replaced the new sender. So I suppose it was not adjusted correctly from the factory. The give away was that 60 to 90 ohm was printed on the gauge. It was a big A Ha!
And I posted this because somewhere in my fog I remembered both you and Simon commenting on the gauge being “off”.
And this is way off base, but Simon had commented on a potentiometer that is located in the wiring bundles in the passenger footwell. There was speculation that potentiometer was used to trim the fuel gauge. I haven’t discovered yet what that pot does, but it is NOT part of the fuel sensing circuit.
