The part number is correct for a UK car - If you look on your build sticker in the boot you should find the code 7K3 which means:

7K3 = Tire pressure control, frequency 433 MHzhigh level version

Different markets have different frequencies and therefore different part numbered senders, but these are the same part number as we use in the UK. As for these particular ones I cant help I'm afraid, I have only used genuine ones.

As far as TP monitor is concerned I think its great as long as its well maintained. The sensors have a battery life of around 7 years (Vagcom can give you an estimated time left for each sensor) hence the reason why it is starting to fail on the early D3's now.
