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.

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.

The relays are here! I had offered these at $100 each, cheaper than any other source I could find, but selling them at my final cost without any mark up will let me pass these on to everyone who responded earlier for $64 shipped in the CONUS via USPS priority mail flat rate box. I hope that's a nice surprise. Doing this to help out fellow LJet owners, not make a profit. If you requested more than one, I can fit two of them in a small flat rate box which means they get even cheaper. They get even cheaper if you pick them up in person.

PM me if you responded earlier. If you changed your mind please let me know so I can open this up to anyone else who wants one. If you didn't claim one earlier please PM me if you want to be a back-up buyer. Payment can be made via paypal. Add fees in if you don't pay F&F. I'll respond to PMs with information on where to send payment and final cost. I'm hoping to mail all of these at once and not make multiple trips to the post office. I'll keep everyone updated as to a shipping date.

Just a reminder that years ago these Bosch relays in black plastic cases superseded the metal box relays that were original on our cars. They do require some modification to the plastic case in order for the connector housings to fit on the relay. Pictures and instructions on how to do this are in the following thread. See post #10. I recommend you make the modification now and then put your new relay in your road kit/glove box. When these fail you are dead in the water.

Two more people. Apparently there is a limit on how many people you can tag in a post:
