Intermitent rear Wiper (Relay upgrade)

Post by DoubleOSeven »

During my days of Mk1 Golf ownership I remember changing the rear wiper relay so it became intermitent, instead of manual.

I guess the same upgrade could be done to the vans.?

My SA van has intermittent rear wipe with relay 72. The part number you quote is for a 19 which is for the front, which can be replaced with a 99 for variable delay.


E D I T - part number now deleted from your post so I guess you realised it was for front?
