The 2.8idTD was introduced in 1998 and fitted until 2001. (Wikipedia)
The vehicle can only be an x230, unless the engine has been moved to a different vehicle.
That is the easy part. @sim12 , the only diagrams that I have found for the x230, are those contained in the German language workshop manual that is available in the downloads section. Diagram 18, on page 189 is for the "Scheibenwischer/Waschanlage". There are no relays shown on the diagram, just a complex column switch. I have attached an extract from the file showing this diagram.
Electronic element yes, but I think just for the intermttent wipe. Speed control directly from stalk switch, as all three motor brushes are connected to stalk switch.Hi,
Love the old school diagram that I can follow easily
From diagram it appears there is an electronic element to the wiper motor assembly that controls speeds and intermittent wipe. Wiper motor assembly looks to be denoted 5015 on diagram.
To answer ops original question about using a vw99 relay-no not an easy proposition- unless the wiper motor assembly can be opened and is found to contain a standard wiper relay.
Cheers

Was wondering if a vw99 relay will fit but I can't even find the relay to check anyone know where it is please?
Mines a 2000 lhd. Pretty sure it's integrated into the wiperView attachment 428474
I read somewhere that Hymer b544 has an upgraded wiper motor as it runs 3 blades. Think its from a volvo truck
3 blades. Maybe the relay on the bulkhead is needed for the off standard motor.
