Sorry about that, Jerry. Correct ZIP code is 29702. I had been up for over 24 hours, with only a 3 hour nap prior to that. I was getting a bit loopy, and fat fingered the ZIP.




Hi G.P.! Thanks!
I did not know there was a gasket there. I will look for one from the usual sources. Thanks for the reference photos of the gasket.
I have read about the VW relay, but had not given it any thought. Yet. Thanks for the suggestion!




Michael T, you are quite welcome!




bogdann, you are quite welcome!
And, I agree. A photo would be excellent!

I assume the cowl panel gasket, (928 559 251 02) that I mentioned was on models previous to S4's.

I found it in PET for my 1986.5.

Will order it soon.

It's been there all along, since '78. Shot of the undersurface of the cowl piece with the seal in place:

Bugger, another part to order. I have a shopping list longer than our weekly grocery shopping list. Thanks for the photo Rob. Ran out to the garage to check and definitely not there. How do PO's manage to lose so many parts?

Don't I know it. I keep a running shopping list, and order monthly. :D

So...tonight I was able to test the wiper motor.

Using a jumper cable between the starter cable and the two input cables to the CE panel, I was able to put power on the Red Witch. The starter and 14-pin harness are currently out of the car.

Before I turned the key, I DID remove relay 20, the fuel pump relay. Nothing like a solid stream of fuel shooting out of the passenger's side of the engine compartment.

With a flick of the stalk, the wiper motor ran smoothly, and the arms moved with no issue. I watched the posts turn back and forth, back and forth, back and forth...

I did notice a party foul. Where I swapped the arms to put the capped bushing on top of the motor arm, was wrong. Now that interferes with the cowl cover. :banghead:
I will swap that back at some point.

On a whim, I decided to install the VW programmable delay relay for the wipers. Refer to this thread:

I ordered the relay from Roger, and this is what I received:

Original relay on the left, VW relay on the right.

KAE 3.200.110 delay relay.

Original relay on the left, VW relay on the right.



New relay was plug-n-play with the original relay. With the stalk in the 'Delay' position, the wipers cycled once every 6 seconds. Sweet!
I tried to adjust the delay time, but couldn't get it to change. Honestly, I didn't mess with that for very long. I will go back over the above thread and pay closer attention.

I did the relay swap because the original delay did not work for the wipers. I suspected the delay wheel, but never investigated the potentiometer. So, no need now.
