Duh, yeah, that's what I meant of course.

I do have an intermittant wipers on my Audi's, like everyone(?) else.

Is the relay the same for the 5kCSQW as it is for a C-GT/4k?  That's 
what I was wondering.  Does anyone have a part number (for my cars)?

It would definitely be nice to have, especially lately with all the 
El Nino irrigation we're getting around here!
