So I have the whole column torn apart to install a new ignition switch. What part on the stalk controls to I need to break/modify so that the wiper stalk goes to the delay position like other VW cars? I installed the 99 variable delay relay on my Scirocco and I have another one for the 914. Might as well do it now. Any other tips or links?

The tab is on the outer shell and prevents the lever from being moved downward.
Don't have any pics but i recall it was easy to do.

Jeff B makes and sells harness. The relay can be upwards of to $100. Shop around though. Same relay used on lots of Porsche, VW and Audi. 914 part number is 111.955.531 which is a VW number. You can usually put like 944 in the place of the 111 and get 944.955.531 which is the 944 wiper relay. Used interval relays are on Ebay.

I used the brown/black (IIRC) to power a washer pump. When I pull the stalk towards me, it operates the pump. I do not have an intermittent option. I don't know if a 944 stalk would offer this additional feature, I just try not to drive the car in the rain

Check Autohaus,AZ for the relay; IIRC their prices were much lower

If you still need the mountable relay base I have an extra, the wires were cut near the base, but it is still functional.
