Not ALL relays are the same.  While a majority of relays may LOOK the same,
many have different amperage requirements - never use a lighter load rated
relay in the application you're trying to replace, yer just asking for
trouble, like a fire for instance (don't dis or laugh at that - I've seen
it happen).

Using relays from a junker vehicle is a crapshoot, but yeah it's cheap to
experiment I guess.  I always go with new ones whenever possible.

FWIW, applications for this A/C Relay are:

Rabbit Cabriolet 83-on
Jetta 83-on
Scirocco 83-88
Corrado 89-on
Fox 87-93
Quantum & Syncro 83-88
Passat 90-92
Vanagon 88-91

My PN 171-9251A, my price $14.95
