Intermittant wipers [WAS: re: Audi Sport 3-spoke steering wheel]

Do you mean an adjustable intermittant wiper relay?  All the Audi's 
I've owned have had an intermittant wiper mode.  If you have the 
intermittant relay it is possible to purchase a generic adjustable 
wiper module ... I got mine from German Auto Salvage (AKA WolfSport) 
for somewhere around $30-40.  I bought one to test and installed it 
on the 5kCSQW ... it is nice to have at times.  The thing plugs 
right in the place of the OEM relay.  The aftermarket relay listed 
quite a few apps other than VW and Audi ... perhaps there's some 
car that comes stock with the relay, and therefore might be a 
cheaper alternative to new ...
