yes, and yes
the part number from my car was 6K0 121 253 AC
it's a non-aircon 8v and the radiator hosing is on the same side as the battery.

Total (inc vat): 38.08
Worth noting the OEM is Valeo, while this one is Nissens. Seemed to be of just as good quality as the Valeo item that came out of the car though.
