Get the shortest cable that will reach. The longer the cabel, the higher the
resistance.

I looked at your pictures, and those are casting numbers. They do tell what
case it is, but they would need to be cross referanced, and VW used the same
castings to make the T-1, T-2, and T-3. If I think of it today, I will look at
the 2 cases I have, and see if they match yours.
