As Jeff said, it is a standard relay. You can probably borrow one from another spot, assuming you have an 86+ that came with A/C.

There is nothing about it that makes it a VW part and generics are available. It was used on other VWs so an auto parts recycling yard will most likely have them too.

The stock headlights ARE NOT on this relay so if your headlights are out as well you might need to dig deeper.
