The 68-9 CS relay was a real strange beast. It is clear that at that 
time VW had not thought this problem through, sort of like the ill-
fated 68-9 master cylinder. By 70 the question of how to do a cold 
start valve had been greatly simplified, and there is no reason that 
you couldn't take advantage of that later knowledge. The late 
system uses about 10% of the early system's connectors and NO 
relay.

It's possible, I don't know.
