How many of these are left? I know the 912e guys have been looking.

Arrived! Thanks so much.
I compared the connector designations on the 0332514120 unit with this new F 026 T00 064 unit. Identical! Pics below.

Yup, absolutely identical. I also hooked it up to my 1975 1.8 to make sure and it fired up and ran no problem. Not sure where this part number comes from, but it is branded as a Bosch relay. I'll expand more in another thread, but the relays that are starting to show up in the US with the part number sanded off the plastic case and a new label put on box to show part number 0332514120 are probably this relay. This is almost certainly also the same relay that someone is trying to sell for $450 on eBay. Again, my plan when I get a moment is to put all this information into a new thread so that those of us that are running LJet can find these relays at a reasonable cost. I'll also include pictures and instructions on how to modify the case to fit in our cars.

yep i have noted down the new part number.
i would guess this relay is fairly universal to a number of early L jet cars.
even outside the VW stable. ie fiat bmw etc.
but i will have to google further.

great bit of snooping on your part @fiacra to dig these up.

And the 240Z owners, etc... A lot of people would love to know where to get these. Send them here:

These are now available on eBay from this same seller. Because they have no picture in their listing I think it has flown under the radar. Cheaper to get them directly on their website. The price fluctuates, probably based on the exchange rate. Now that you know the "secret" part number you should be able to find them. It took a lot of time digging around to find that part number. Initially the above seller had a limited supply, but now they show "10+" available.

I'll give you a pass fiacra cause you're NOT a Z guy...

Datsun went L-Jet on the 1975 Datsun 280Z.
It was the first year of the 280 and the relay should be applicable directly from 75-78.
It might also work on the NA 280ZX from 79-83.
They had a pretty significant change up in 81 so the 81-83 cars might not be the same.
81 and up went optical on the distributor...

05/30/2024 - SEE UPDATE in post #29

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 :D 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.

im interested in onel if available , LMK how i can pay you . Thanks Doug

I’ve noticed Jbugs now has these relays back in stock

I’ve noticed Jbugs now has these relays back in stock

I got that notice too as I had an "alert" in case they came back in stock. $119 plus shipping..... I posted my source earlier in this thread. You can get them for under $60 shipped from them, at least at the moment. I still have one left (someone flaked) so if anyone needs it please let me know. My cost, at $64, is a bit higher but you will get it several weeks quicker if that means anything.

Pending to Clay.

If anyone else wants one you can order directly from the supplier I got them from. They are in Latvia and the price on their website varies according to the exchange rate, but today they were just over $50. Expect to pay about $10 shipping to the USA. The cheapest price around. Probably the same relay that other sites are now starting to sell for over $100 with the part number removed from the relay and a new sticker put on the Bosch box. It took ~3 weeks for mine to arrive, but I've placed two orders with them and had no problems. Link below.
