Yellow aftermarket relay vs VAG
Hi Dave,
I was not talking about a VAG relay, but an aftermarket relay which does the same thing. Appearently this yellow aftermarket relay is especially made to replace the original Volvo relay, as it has the same plastic pins. These pins make it impossible to fit it in the wrong slot of white mounting plate. Personally I have not tried any other relay, but this is what I understood from other owners who did. Rob |

No plastic pins or anything on the VAG one, it locates on the electrical contact pins, no more, no less, same as the afermarket one i linked to. As the electrical pins are common to each relay and in the same place on each (including their function), that should be all that is needed to correctly locate the relay.

Just looking at my 740 now, it has this relay:
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Volvo-352...-/142484661095 All the same pins, but a totally different plug pattern. Would be possible to swap, but I'd need the wires removed from the fusebox |

Good plan
Luckily I already have the spades and crimps. I ended up buying the holder from eBay as total including P&P was less than your link |

Sometimes the likes of AES, VWP and similar aren't always the cheapest Jim but they're useful for showing what's needed. Good news you found one on fleabay, good luck with your relay and let us know how you get on!

Hi folks,
I've done the mod, but it doesn't seem to have variable intermittency. It also has a loud relay click when it operates, which surprises me as I'd expected it to be a more modern operation than that... The relay I bought was sold as a VW 99 relay, but has part number 191 955 531. http://vi.raptor.ebaydesc.com/ws/eBa...m=273978553577 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Audi-VW-S...O/273978553577 Have I been sold a pup?

Sadly all their drivel in the description about the 357 955 531 being the equivalent put me off buying that one (although it was cheaper) because the two relays are different. Also what they put in their listing about the photo not being of the exact item as they had more than one, it suggested they'd send out any old relay that they thought was right. Apart from the years i've stated in my first post, relay 99 was the front intermittent but had no programmbale function, this has created the myth they are identical, which they're not. I only found this out with extensive cross-referencing. Also from what i found when i was searching, the Duco relay does not have programmable functions at all, only the one that has the original (not copied) VAG symbols on.

Fingers crossed the right one will come through this time Jim! As i said in the first post, 90-94 and 98-04 i think it was (without checking and i can't think just now) are the ages of the cars that had it.
Mine apparently came from a 1994 Corrado so was the last of the "first batch" so to speak.
