Tom,

This sounds a lot like what I was seeing in the '93 S4.   I could
never EXACTLY trace down the source of the problem, but I'm pretty
sure I narrowed it down to the wiring to the WGFV.

I tried all the stuff you did, swapping WGFV, etc etc.  The only way i
noticed the problem either being there or not being there was that
everytime it changed, it was right after unplugging/plugging the
wiring connector to the WGFV.

I'm wondering if the right two wires short, the WGFV might get stuck
at full-closed.  Or something like that.

At some point the problem went away, and I never saw it again (though
I was always careful to avoid fiddling with the wiring in that area!!)

Cheers,
Keith
