Relays - Am I mising one, where are all the relays?

Post by audiman73 » Tue Apr 08, 2008 10:14 pm

Spoke to a guy at ABT regarding issues posted before and have been told to look for a relay with 100 on it which is the main ECU relay. Any ideas where this is. All I can find are the below relays which are under the dash. Also should there be anything in the space in the picture as there are termnals in there.

If you didn't have that relay, then your car wouldn't start, period!

So that relay missing, is probably prep for something

Not all VAG cars have the power relay, and pretty sure the RS/S4 doesn't

I know that the relay that is missing is not the ecu relay I was just wondering if anyone knew what it does as there is wiring there. I was wondering if the ECU relay exists if yes is there any other relay locations it may be hiding in, have read in polaces the ecu housing but I have no relays in there.

Not sure about your specific relay, but there is another sneaky relay board behind that one, further back. Need to really get your head up there to see!
