[s-cars] Intermittent wiper relay

[James Murray (LMC)]

I should also have mentioned that 3B0 955 531 is the correct part number to
order.
Just make sure you receive what I described below...

	Gary is correct the top has a big white .99 on the top and is about
half the
	size of the old one, the side of mine has the numbers 3997 in white.
The
	relay was black plastic. The part has VW 357 955 531 pressed in the
side.

	If you have a relay with the number 3.200.110 manufactured by a
company
	KAE(kaehler automotive equipment)I would send it back, I don't think
these
	function correctly as specified. Gary isn't this what you initially
got and
	sent back?

	I have a pic of my old and new if anyone "really" needs it...

	I took some pics of how to replace the old relay with the new one
while I
	was testing out the use of a digital camera for the first time, so
if anyone
	is hesitant to do this neat little mod e-mail me and I'll send you
the pics.
	It's really easy to do.

	Cheers, /Jamu.

	P.S. I think the Bosch part number is: 0 986 335 058

		Yes, the first one I got from
http://www.germanautoparts.com/ didn't
	work. I
		sent it back and the next one (actually two) they sent does
work I
	don't
		have the part numbers. I know the second one has a big white
99 on
	the top,
		and I'm quite sure the interval is more than 20 seconds. If
you
	really need
		the part number, I can check my 200 tomorrow. It's outside
in the
	rain
		today, and I don't really want to flood out the relay box
with
	water. Let me
		know.
		ps. price was $21

A bit
