Wiper Delay

Recommended Posts

here is the ipd relay info:

Any luck? Did you get the relay working?

so i believe you put into intermittent position, then back to stop, then back to intermittent.

maybe try other positions? like the superslow and superfast positions

and '98S70R said to make sure it was inserted all the way into the relay

and yesterday the rain was just crazy. even the "superfast" setting wasn't fast enough. might get me the relay if you manage to get it working littledog

I have the IPD relay delay and it works great for me. Since purchasing it, I learned that there's a standard Audi part that does the same thing and is a direct replacement for the Volvo relay. I saw it on a UK Volvo website volvoclub.org.uk and someone posted the part number. Hope they use the same part numbers in the US. Just do a search on that site.

Nice thread revival! :)

I could use one also, so I might try that out. Good find. :)

Thanks for this info Rabbit !! :D

Did you have to specify the VW one ?

No! Suprised the hell out of me! I had expected the K.A.E. relay (which I hear doesn't work correctly), and I had cancelled my order - but it had already shipped. I opened the package, and it was the VW part! (I cancelled my cancelled order)

They sent the OEM VW part. If you are interested in buying one, you might want to call them on the 1-800 number and verify that they will sent the VW part - and NOT the K.A.E. part advertised on their website. I'm very pleased, and I saved $40.00. IPD wants $68.00 for the exact same part - with the IPD logo on the relay. I could care less about the logo. It's not worth $40.00 more. I'm much happier with the VW part - especially when it only cost $28.00... :D

holy old thread batman!

and does it actually work with volvo wipers?

It will perform exactly the way it was designed to perform. My VW relay(s) are installed on both our 2000 XC's. I'm sure it will work on 1998-2000 Volvo V/S/C70's. Don't know about other years, however...

Yeah I spent $40 on the KAE relay that doesnt work right and its non-returnable <_< . So if I buy this one for $28 it will end up costing me the same as the IPD one in the end....o well :(

Upon seeing this thread re-vitalized over the weekend I spent the 30 bucks and bought one from the site. I should have called. It arrived today and is the KAE branded relay. I'll get down and do the contortionists relay change this evening, but I'm not holding out much hope...

My deepest sympathy! Try calling them now, and see if they will swap the K.A.E. for the VW part. I believe they will. Tell them the K.A.E. part is NOT a compatible part as their website says it is. Talk to joey@worldimpex.com

DON'T BOTHER WITH THE K.A.E. !!! CALL NOW!!! ;)

So does the wiper relay work?

I remeber someone at the Volvo dealership called bull ship on this when I worked there.

The VW relay works perfectly. No hassles or problems or quirks. The K.A.E. works when you spray the windshield - not when you turn on the intermittent setting! The K.A.E. won't work correctly.... <_<
