05/30/2024 - SEE UPDATE in post #29
06/25/2024 - Update. Looks like the supplier I got them from has a bunch in stock. You can order them directly. They are in Latvia, but I had no problems with my orders other than it taking a few weeks to get here. The price varies based on the current exchange rate. As of today just over $50 plus ~$10 for shipping. A much better deal than any other supplier I could find. These are also very likely the same relays that are showing up here in the USA with the part number sanded off the relay and a new sticker put on the Bosch box. I, and other members, have tested these Bosch relays on our cars and they work without issue. If you have a LJet car probably a good idea to have at least one spare. https://cars245.com/en/item/bosch-F026T0006...fuel-injection/ This was initially posted in the FS/WTB forum as a WTB ad but I think it now more properly belongs in the Garage forum. Those of us with an LJet car with the original FI know that this NLA Bosch relay #0332514120 is a weak point in the system. If it fails, you are dead in the water, and eventually it will fail. At the moment the only sources I have found are AA and one eBay seller. The pre-tax/shipping price from AA is $325 and on Ebay it is $459.99 (unbelievably it appears they have sold a few at that price). It took a fair amount of time exploring the back alleys of the internet but I finally found a source for this Bosch relay using a cross referenced part number. It is a foreign supplier with back stock. Once that is gone they won't have any more. I ordered one just to make sure it was identical, and it is. I'll test it in my car sometime in the next few days, but I see no reason why it won't work (update: tested and working perfectly). I can order enough to pass on if people are interested. If I get a bunch rather than putting them up on eBay for $459.98 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) I should be able to pass them on to fellow members for under $100 shipped in the CONUS. I can get up to 10 (update: managed to get 15), depending upon what is still left. If there is enough interest I'll buy them all, but I don't want to get them if I'm the only person interested. PM or post if you are interested. This doesn't obligate you. Might be our last chance to get these Bosch relays new. AA does rebuild them for $200, so that is a possibility moving forward. |

Just curious, I had looked into making these, but thought they were still availoable. Am I missing something?

Am I missing something? https://www.pelicanparts.com/More_Info/0332...332-514-120-INT @mikey914 Out of stock at Pelican and have been for a while. Try adding it to your cart and you will get the out of stock message. They fooled me at first as well. I'd love it if you decided to make these! There certainly is a market as they are used not only for the 914 but also for the 912E, the 240Z, and many other cars. What price point can you come in at? |
