The two thermistors in that sensor are diagonally wired and of the same value, so you can plug it in any way and it will always be correct.

No, either way is ok, it's not keyed.
From my manual: 4-pin engine coolant temperature sensor (Bl l/2) The engine coolant temperature sensor is a 4- pin design. It integrates two separate temperature sensors (NTC), which do not have any electrical connection to the housing of the engine coolant temperature sensor. One temperature sensor is used for the distributor ignition system and one for the CFI injection system. The connector of the engine coolant temperature sensor is designed so that it can be plugged-in in any position.

Your assumption is incorrect.

Well then, I guess there's always a first time.

Don't over-tighten the sensor when you install it.
See top item in image below. $ 50.00 down the drain plus another $ 50.00 to replace it. Plus it wasn't simple getting the broken half out. |

That is why its a good idea to always use a torque wrench when putting in stuff like that. MB lists the proper nm measurements.
