I found this great tip on how to cheaply and simply swap out a relay and acheive variable wiper intermittance that you programme yourself.
I bought my relay second hand off ebay for $30. When it arrived it took longer to walk out to my puma than it did to put it in.
The new wiper functions are...
1) Instead of pushing the wiper stalk button and getting five swipes (too long) a single tap will now get one swipe from the wiper.
2) tap and hold the same button a fraction longer and get three swipes with the washer spray, intstead of the normal five swipes. Much better.
Here's the best bit...
3) Flick the stalk down to start the wiper and then flick it back to the off position. Wait the amount of time you would like the wiper interval to be, and then flick the stalk back down again. Your variable wiper is now programmed to that speed. To cancel just flick it off and start again.
It has been raining on and off here for the last few days and I am really happy with how much more convienient the wipers are to use. Best upgrade I didn't know I needed.

Second hand ones here.
There are actually a couple of previous AULRO threads about this. Some quotes for new in Australia range from $108 to $180 odd.

Weird. I just tried the link with no problem.Originally Posted by miky
I first called VW but they wanted about $160.
I then found one on UK ebay for $30.

SubscriberThanks. I've got a 300Tdi, so it will be interesting to know if it works on different models.

Don't know about Tdi but was going to try when I get one for the Puma. Bosch want more for the relay than VW do
I've been hunting on and off for over a year for a cheaper price on a new relay. The second hand ones can be off vehicles over 10 years old.

SubscriberGot one from UK, and tried it in my Defender TD5 2004. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to work correctly in mine, as it seems to in the Puma. There must be some difference in the wiper control.
It does the variable intermittent function OK, but if you want to give the screen a good wash and push the washer button for 5 seconds or so, then the wipers remain on continuously with the stalk in the OFF position.
The only way to stop it is to turn off the ignition, which is not very practical while driving!
Cheers,
Lionel
