is it easy to instal a relay if you have blade fuses as on my early devon?

it's on the wiki, hammer sign at top of page, https://club8090.co.uk/wiki/VW ... ent_wipers

may not be there as now i'm paying attention i see you have blade type fuses

If it's an early van then just fitting the relay will do nothing as there is no wiring to connect the relay to, there was a site somewhere which explained in detail how to wire up the relay for an early model, it took me about two hours, it involves running cable from the switch under the steering column to wherever you want to locate the relay (i put mine near to the others due to needing an earth/live feed) i'm sure someone will post the link soon. Well worth doing though.

A friend of mine has a 1.9 Westy Joker, with the old type of fusebox(bullet fuses?) that has intermittant wipers.Build date of 29/3/1983. I'll be having a good look at it soon to see how the wiring is done and then try and put it on my 1981 Aircooled Westy which has the same fusebox.

great i will be watching for more info. thanks guys!

I think this might be the link that was mentioned earlier:
