 |
|
I recently bought a box of oval parts Ans in it was this weird actuator thing has has two spots for hoses of some sort Ans moves up and down. I was un able to find a part number on the part but I saw the swf logo so I figure it had to be vw although I could be wrong. If anyone has any info on this part please let me know. Or if any more pictures is needed. Thank you for y’all’s knowledge!

Looks like a washer pump. Does that one cylinder slide over the other one? And does air come out the elbow?
Update....
Went searching and found an ad for one on tS!

| Yes sir it does slide up and down but I hadn’t really tried to move it because I didn’t want to break anything. But that is really different. Is this something that came on all ovals? And do you know anywhere I may be able to get a new knob? |

Check out eBay! That’s how I found out what it was. I had a hunch it was a window squirted, based on another interaction 30 years ago! Dug that out of my tired brain!!!! Amazing!!!!
Anyways, it got me thinking so I figured if I had one, and did not know about tS, where would I post up a for sale on an unknown item. eBay!
Thanks for posting it up! It is always cool to relive an old forgotten series of memories!
