There should be a number on the sender unit itself that will tell you the correct one to get.

From the VDO site, it looks like the senders are differentiated by the thread fittings and whether there is a warning lamp or not which leads me to think that you only have to find the thread type in your engine and order one with the same thread.

Ah, but you said you had it fitted to the car so assumed you needed another one. Never mind
