OUR ONLINE CHECKOUT is CLOSED and we are NOT accepting any NEW orders at this time.

We are still fulfilling and shipping previously submitted and/or delayed order requests (as product availability allows) UNTIL NOVEMBER 15th 2022.

But after November 15th, all still pending backordered unshipped items will be automatically CANCELLED **(except for any special ordered drop-shipped or made/machined-to-order items).

Our ability to respond to emails is greatly hampered by being under-staffed during this downsize transition time. But we continue to endeavor to answer email inquiries as best we can. And we will continue responding to emails through until early March 2023 because we are wholly committed to resolving any other issues that may arise from previous sales. It is still UNCERTAIN, but we may re-open a substantially downsized version of our store again in the Spring of 2023.

We sincerely appreciate your patience, understanding during this period of restructuring and/or closing. And a huge thank you to all of you whose support and loyalty we have been the beneficiary of over the 23 years that we have worked diligently to support the information and parts needs of the aircooled VW community!

Bosch WR-1 Hard Start Relay Kit, 12V

Bosch WR-1 Hard Start Relay Kit, 12V
 
40 years ago VW guys had a tough time starting their 6V VW's on cold mornings, and with some thinkin' they used a VW Horn Relay to bypass the run from back-front-back with a factory relay to shorten the voltage trip! It worked so well now we have this!

This part is virtually required on 6V cars, but it's useful on 12V cars with ratty old wiring too. As wiring gets old, the ends (near connections) oxydize and stop conducting electricity properly.

Furthermore, in the factory VW wiring arrangement, the power goes from the battery (under back seat or in rear of car), then forwards to the key, then back to the starter. THAT IS A LONG WAY!

The combination of the old wiring and long run is that your 12V starter only "sees" ~9-10V, and it's no wonder they don't work reliably! The installation of these kits will really help stubborn starting problems!

This "part" is available in both genuine Bosch and the Bugpack version, this is the genuine Bosch part!

As with many other products, ACN carries multiple versions and quality levels of many parts, depending on what your needs and budget allows.
