I finished this project up today and everything worked fine on the first try.

18 inches is plenty of length if you are making your own wiring harness rather than buying the premade Volkswagen wires specified in many of the guides.

I can confirm that the molex pins I listed above do work for both ends of your cable. They are a little bit wiggly when you place them inside the gray connector that connects to the cluster, but they do fit correctly with the male pins built into the cluster from an electrical perspective.

Now that I'm done I would say I am very modestly impressed with this hack. I guess it's state of the art for 2001. I suppose it's kind of nice to know the outside temperature and how many miles the box thinks it can go before empty, but overall it's a bit underwhelming now that I actually see it in action...
