couple questions for everyone

["Victor Farren" <vfarren@rrs.cdie.org>]

I was looking through the VW FAQs and found a couple interesting things that I will look for the next time I go to the junkyard.  But, first I wanted to see if anyone has any insight/opinions on them:

1) programable wiper relay--sounds cool, anyone got'em?  Like'em?  FYI, relay numbers for programable relays are:
357 955 531
1hm 955 531 B  <-- Bosche relay (I think)

2) valve cover baffle.  They came stock on the 87+  A2cars, right?  Anyone got one to fit on our A1s?

3) Fuel pump relay from 85+ car.  In the FAQ it said that the newer relays allow the fuel pump to run when the ignition is first turned on in order to pressurize the system.  I have an 84, and have been turning on ignition a waiting for a coupl eof seconds before I fire up the car thinking that I am pressurizing the system.  Is this not happening?  I think so b/c sometimes the car cranks a few times before catching, instead of firing right up on the first go.

4) Anyone taken valve adjusting shims from old solid head A1s and used'em again?  Not b/c I 'm a cheap bastard (they are only $1.75 a piece) but b/c I can't find a place that has them stock.  I have to order them, and I am thinking I could spend an afternoon at the junkyard tommorrow and get myself a nice little collection.  QUESTION:  Do they wear out a lot, or is it safe to use old ones (I don't have a micrometer to measure them)?  Maybe it ain't worth it, and I should just order them?

Thanks

Victor
