Subject:Re: "99" Programmable Wiper Relay Into an '81?

As I recall from notes that Chris Turner made, the later model VW 99
may not work in Vanagons, and the older VW 99 isn't available new
anymore. Of course, it is possible that you could buy the later model
and swap it into someone else's Jetta/Corrado, what have you, that
still has one of the older VW 99s in it.
