99 Beetle VSS nightmare

Hello all.... long story short, my daughter purchased a 99 beetle in limp mode. After a ridiculous amount of work I removed the old VSS and found it was part# 01M927321A. I ordered a new one but when it arrived it was #01m927321B. It seems there are two different plug types for this year (mk3/mk4)
So here is my question.... It looks as though I could modify the mk4 plug to work with the mk3 female plug but wouldn't do so without knowing the connections would be the same. I could also cut the plug from the old VSS and solder it to the mk4 as I'm fairly certain the VSS is exactly the same. The problem is that I can't seem to find a color coded diagram that would tell me which wire should connect to which. Is this possible, or should I scrap the mk4 and wait for a mk3 to arrive? I'd really like to finish the fix this weekend...:smile2:
