Hot dodgy relay..
#1
I post this on the mk-ivs but its shit so thought i'd ask you lot aswell because im not clued up.. Basically on my mums bora there is a relay playing up, but when i jiggle it, it begins to work again its also gets very hot.. Would replacing the relay fix the problem or should is it more likely to be the where it plugs into? Thanks for the help Smile

maybe and yes

its probably a loose connection either in the plug of a broken wire in the relay itself

dude dont do it! all relays are the same either 4 or 5 pin! on the bottom they have the numbers 30. which is your constant 12v live
85. is to earth
86 is your switching feed
and 87 is what ever your powering
relays cost pennies mate Smile

It was an ignition relay, had 2 chunky great pins and 2 notmal size ones, my local facotrs said it was main dealer job, seems to have fixed the problem touch wood Smile

Trust VAG to make them an odd size so its not as simple as getting a cheap one.
