Subject:Re: "99" Programmable Wiper Relay Into an '81?
From:Jake de Villiers
Date:Sun, 25 Oct 2009 11:26:29 -0700

I'm not sure I have the '99'  relay.  I got mine from Bow Wow (RIP) and its
an aftermarket part.  I did ask the lovely and talented Amanda at Roger Jobs
VW about getting another and after listening to my description of its method
of operation she offered me a 191.955.531 relay.

YMMV
