Ever wanted variable intermittent on your wipers?? Ever get annoyed that every time you wash the screen, the wipers smear it 4 times??

you can fix both of these things by changing the wash/wipe relay

the relay is situated up underneath the dashboard in the passenger footwell. It takes approximately 30 seconds to change it, no tools required, although some gymnastic ability is helpfull!

The required relay is from the Mk3 golf


There are various part numbers doing the rounds, but i didn't manage to get hold of a brand new relay, although some people have. - others have accidentally bought the wrong relay. - new, it'd cost you £30.

I got mine from a breakers yard for a total of £5.

Mk3 Golf

Most Breakers yards will have a number of Mk3 golfs, and the correct relay can also be found in lots of different VWs (usually the higher end of the range cars) dating from the mid '90s
