E34 5181 Wiper Problems

[LEEP]

Hej,wipers on my E34 518i (1995) only work when they feel like it. Took to local BMW dealer- they could not find problem (worked when they looked at it!(of course!) -didn't work again a couple of hours later). Asked if there was a relay I could try changing and they sold me part no. 61.35-8 366 381 711 370 (wi-wa low 12v). Anyone know where this part can be found on my model? ('baby' E34!) so I can change it- as guy at BMW didn't know!!.Ta very much in advance. :)

[Paul in NZ]

they should be able to tell you where that relay is located.they can look it up on the etm

[LEEP]

They made a 518i?
They sure did !. It's a 4 cyl 1800cc job. As cars here in Denmark cost 2-3 times as much as rest of world I couldn't afford a "real" one !!! :(

ThaNKS, i had looked there, I think it is fig.4 under Body Control units for 518i saloon M43, but it doesn't say where it can be found (looked under rear seat and under hood!):(

[LEEP]

They? (local BMW dealer?) etm? (electronic thingy?). I will go back to THEM and try again!.
