RE: Programmable wiper relay part # needed for '92+ Audi

["Buchholz, Steven" <Steven.Buchholz@kla-tencor.com>]

I got an aftermarket unit from German Auto Salvage/Wolfsport which I am
running in the '88 5kCSQW ... its made by a company called "DODUCO"
(Intervall CHIP, DD-Nr. 3579 0010 01 26) which claims that this single
unit will work for Alfa Romeo, Audi, Citroen, Opel, Peugeot, Porsche,
Saab, Seat, Volvo and VW.  For Audis, the part is claimed to be a
replacement for P/N 321 955 531, and the apps include:

		80	8/75 - 
		90	10/84 - 
		100	8/76 -
		200	8/79 -
		Coupe	8/80 -
		Quattro	alle

There may be some minor differences in the way the delay function is
activated, but it sure seems to me that there is quite a bit of
compatability between marques on the wiper relay.  I'd bet that any one
of the relays will work in your car.
