Variable Wiper Upgrade
« on: 09 November 2011, 21:16:14 »
So my Elite, which is supposed to have more kit than my CD, does not have a variable speed wiper adjuster  ::)

What exactly is involved in upgrading?

No wiring changes for me - just replaced the relay with a VW "99" relay and it works like a dream in my 2.2 CD

gotta be worth checking the pins, if the same, gotta be worth a try.

I find the 99 relay a bit more of a pain than a wheel, but better than no adjustment.
She has requested a wheeled stalk be retrofitted :( in her new one
