Ph2 1991 intermittent wipers not working

[Adamstanford 3]

This was an intermittent problem (geddit?) But is now a constant problem. 

 

Normal wipers, fast wipers and spray all work. Intermittent doesn't... Is there a relay that controls this or is the stalk faulty? 

 

1991 1.6 GTi.

I think I had this issue about 5 or 6 years ago, and I am sure I fixed it with a new relay. I fitted a relay from a mk3 golf which let you teach the car what you wanted your intermittent wiper speed to be.

 

I *think* its a relay 99 from a vw. I'll have to go and have a look.

 

and you can program them with this

 

1. Click the wiper lever on. (Intermittent)
2. Click it back off soon.
3. Wait how long you want the delay.
4. After that, click the wiper on again. (Program it)

ooo a quick google found this website with the below info

 

 

 

357 955 531 (original VW 99 relay)
or 1HM 955 531A or B.
The Bosch # is 0-986-335-058.
The number stamped onto the end is "99".

 

vw relay part number 357 955 531 (This has maybe been superseded with 3BO 955 531)

 

357 955 531A, 1HM 955531, and 1HM 955531C are the NON-programmable intermittent wiper relays.

Wow thank you that will be a cool little feature to add. I'll get on finding one soon! Just plugs in to the fuse board in the glove box?

The 6 pin one? Big 99. On the top?

[jackherer 543]

I've had a VW relay in mine for years, it works very well.

Yes it has '99' printed on it in a large font, you can't miss it.

Thank you I have ordered one!

This shows one fitted to a 205 fusebox:

 

 

(it's not my photo, I think that is a LHD car but the fusebox is the same)

[Adamstanford 3]

Perfect! I shall report back when it arrives!

[welshpug 1,621]

check the condition of the terminals on the plug in the scuttle

[Adamstanford 3]

Theyve sent me "191 955 531" 

 

Works as a relay. Not programmable.
