I have installed this relay (available for about $7 at your local FLAPS) on
my 61, 70, and 71 T2 baywindows curing my weird starting problems after
ruling out my starter, battery, cables, ign switch and grounds. On my 82
Westy  I installed the relay out of habit but noticed that the starter/ign
wire seemed larger (8g vs 10g) than on my older vans.Maybe VW addressed the
problem? If all else fails it still might do the trick.
