there is a relay for the adjustable intermittent.Vagparts use to sell it as an option

AFAIK you use a programable relay hooked up so you program it with the stalk on intermittent, here is a thread on it

Yeah I read that thread -

http://www.s2forum.com/forum/showthr...upgrade+wipers

But it seemed inconclusive... Unless I missed something?

What I had in mind was the switch type as fitted to my Fiesta ST, RS6 etc...

**andy10v** · 9 October 2009, 22:37

Guess you could hook up a switch but where to put it? I would imagine it would be a pita to put a stalk from a newer car on.

I thought the relay setup was neat, push to intermittent, cancel, wait 7s, push to intermitent and it will wipe every 7s or whatever you want.

That programmable one is available as an Audi part number, which was mentioned on here a while ago as was the comfort indicator group buy.

I found the programmable wiper relay pretty good and handy solution to the problem of a fixed delay interval on Mk 1 and Mk2 Golfs. It could be set from about 2 secs to about 30 secs.

In a 99 Cab B4, it has the Ford type stalk that you are referring to and I mentioned it on here about 2/3 months ago and Paul (S2 Central) posted a comment on the thread, but I reckon he was too busy at the time to pursue it in any detail. After all he is only one man and has plenty of fish to fry already.

The other one which is great on the Cab is the interior light which "fades" up to full brightness and also fades out softly on the central locking.

Having used both front wipers delay systems, the Cab's flick of a micro rocker switch on the stalk is easy and handy, but if you only have the programmable one and get used to it with regular use it's not a chore to operate and gives a bit more "adjustability".

BTW, I've ordered a comfort relay from the dealer and should have it next week so I post how I get on with it. Just have to check where the factory indicator relay is as it is not in the fuse-box in the scuttle? Presume it is behind the driver's right knee panel / shelf?

Kind regards.

Thanks Guys,

Done some more digging.... & from what you are saying the VW 99 Relay is as good an option as any.... with it being programmable.....

So Just done a search for "VW no 99 Relay" and it threw up a number of UK sellers...

So I am currently watching all of them on fleabay....

Next DUMB question's as follows (I'm Good at these!!!

)

A; Where is the relay that I have to replace....

B; What number am I looking for on the Audi Relay....

Again thanks!!!!

just put your mouse on the relays and click.....
the one you're looking for it's the "intermittent relay"
first row from the bottom
third relay from left

I got the programmable relay from the VW Golf on both RS2 and Cabrio installed and it's perfect once you get used to it, I believe it's logical practicle cheap and dead easy to fit..
I don't have the part number but i got it here on S2 Forum so it must be somewhere...

3B0 955 531 from an Audi dealer or VW dealer.

There's two versions, each slightly different as to how they are set.
The above is from a B5 A4 or VW Passat and is set as follows,
(assuming you have ignition on)

1/ Turn on intermttent,
2/ Turn off and wait the desired time interval,
3/ Turn back on intermittent and it will wipe at the interval you specified.

The version being sold via ebay from a VW Golf with the part number 357 955 531 is set differently,

1/ Turn on intermittent and count the time interval you want,
2/ Turn off and immediately turn back on again and it will wipe to the interval you specified.

Having tried both, the 3B0 relay I mentioned first is the better (personal choice) and is still working perfectly after 11 years of having it. The 357 died after only 4 years.

Would be cool to see all the different relays that give different options and adds more comfort for the driver

seem to learn of a new one every week on the forum

Will keep on subscribing

Looking into it a bit further, the 357 955 531 being sold in a good few auctions on ebay will be secondhand. It does not exist new anymore as it was superceded by the other 3B0 version.

HTH.

3B0 955 531

Yes this is the one to go for. Had it on the car for years.

**Le S2 Audi** · 10 October 2009, 13:42

Thanks for all the info....

I cant find any of the 3B0 955 531 relays on Fleabay...

Any suggestions to where I might get one other than from the STEALERS....

Tried Pete@Quattro corner & he is coming back to me...

Again Thanks for all the help...

Great Responses... Cant wait to get one fitted and have a play!!!

What about this one:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NEW-Wiper-rela...d=p3286.c0.m14

"3B0 955 531" is listed as one of the parts that this can replace.

Could be tempted to change this also.
