pretty sure it wont plug in....but if it has the same amount of plugs prongs...can I just wire it to the base of the relay board to make it work? I have been meaning to pick one up from a fellow club member...just have had no time...I have access to a bus one and various other vw ones...anyone know of any of them that work? I know I am dreaming when I ask this...but do you think a local flaps would have one also?

I would think that you may find one at the local parts store. I know there is a place here in Costa Mesa that seems to always have the parts I need for these things. If you are out and about, I know I have one or two of them here in the garage you are more than welcome to have.

Go to your local FLAPS and ask for a Borg-Warner Voltage Regulator, Part # R588.
It's a VW-type, electronic, sealed VR and it plugs right in. A lot smaller than the original, and it'll fasten to the hotplate in the usual fashion. |
