Electrics: 850: - Programmable Front Wiper Relay

bob13 · Jan 12th, 2008, 18:16

Hi all
Just a bit of info for you all, I have just fitted a programmable front wiper relay to the front wipers. I now have intermittent wipe from 1 sec to 45 sec. The relay i used was a VW num, 99, take out the old one and fit the new one, job done. I believe that the audi one is the same one. Had it off Ebay for £9.50 with postage.

Cheers Bob....

Works in the S/V P1 models as well I found mine in an old GTI VW lol....

Do you think this relay would work in a 960? Mine has intermittant wipe, but its a fixed interval.
I'm assuming the VW one is the type that you programme by wiping, then wiping again to set the timer?

Hmmm.....I assume it'll work on my C70 then Gary.....where'd I leave the keys to the Passat?

Yes, turn intermittent wipe on then off for how long you wont ie off for 3 sec, then back on.

Right guys mines a Hella 955531A the A being important I understand or B is ok. Interval wipers programmable pin numbers are 15, 31, 53m, 53s, I, T.
6 pins altogether.

Other makes will have have different part numbers lol.

Hope this helps.

Just some more part numbers

3B0 955 531 vw/audi part number or 357 955 531 (old num)

Bosh relay has 99 on the top with number 3997 on the side plus the vw/audi part num above. Plus 0 986 335 058 on it.

Hi,
IPD advertise one for 850, S/V70 & C70 ($38).

I asked if they did one for 940 & they said NO, which is a shame.
Anyone fancy making one for 940 - I reckon there's a market!
cheers,
Ben

I'm wondering if someone can tell me if one of these relays will work. Thanks
