They will both work, however the readings will be slightly different between the two.

 

VDO specify the 360.021, but this gives a slightly lower gauge reading than actual. A false sense of security if you like.

 

Having said that, the 360.002 in some cars will reading a little high.

 

The problem is that the electrical systems & gauges in these cars are a little 'primitive'. They do vary from car to car.

 

When I had my workshop I found that owners were 'happier' with the gauge sitting a little bit low that a little bit high.
