Default oil level sensor plug wires broke-options?

Ive a 2000 a4 with ATW 1.8 engine. The wires to the oil level sensor broke about 1/4 inch from the plug. What are my options to fix this? does anyone sell the plugs?

I finally found someone on Ebay selling the pigtails for about $15, so I went that route. ECS blew me off when I asked which pins went with the generic plugs they sell; apparently they don't know.

Thanks for the tip on including "pigtail" in the search

My pleasure.

I have the factory service manual if it would help you. I'm sure it has the diagrams & pin-outs.

I've enough if the original wiring to know the wire/pin connection. My prob with ecs was knowing which diameter pin goes in that plug. Buying the entire pigtail solved that problem nicely.
