FYI, this module(not sure if its the same one, but it had similar
functions) failed on my father's 944 because coolant leaked into it.

After pulling it all apart, cleaning up the stator+rotor etc,
relubing the gears, and applying contact cleaner then moving contact
lubricator(both from Caig), the whole thing worked good as new, at
least from my simple tests; action was quick+smooth, resistor seemed
to vary smoothly as the arm moved.  A new one for his car, from the
dealer, was around $200 I think, which I felt was patently absurd.
We never got a chance to try it; I found out about this post-fix(and
a new part had been used.)
