cheers lee that would be magic just wondering if there was a diagram anywhere that would say what relay's should be where

 

[A3-Lee]

Are you sure 167 isn't the fuel pump relay bud that's its normal location I'm sure

 

[islay]

just been on vagcat lee it says 167 is the "

(10) 191906383C
contact close relay / for fuel pump / relay location/code no.: / F >> 8L-W-999 000* 4/167 /

but it also says 409 is the "

(10) 1J0906383B
relay for fuel pump / relay location/code no.: / F 8L-X-000 001>> 4/409 /

is there a difference between the "relay for the fuel pump" and the "contact close relay/for fuel pump" or should i have both?

 

[A3-Lee]

I think you will have one or the other mate tbh I will double check this tomorrow for you buddy

cheers lee maybe ive bought the wrong one do you think i could replace the 167 with a 409 if it fits?

 

[A3-Lee]

Don't think so bud il get on to tps as well tomorrow bud

 

[Gops]

Isn't 409 in the engine bay?

Most of the agu's have relay 167 instead of 409 number relay mate.
167 is the fuel pump relay of a golf. I replaced that relay with a new one when I had fuel pump problems and it sorted it. 167 and 409 are the same relay

 

[A3-Lee]

I can also confirm 167 is the fuel pump relay mate

thanks guys i phoned audi and they said that it should be a 409 for my chassis number but the 409 seems to have more connectors on it will it be ok to put a 409 in? as thats the one i have

 

[islay]

[A3-Lee]

Hi guys, my car cut out the other day. Won't start now, its an '01 S3. I suspect its the Fuel Pump Relay as the fuel pump cannot be heard priming when ignition is turned on. When i removed the lower dash trim today i found the exact same positioning of the relays as the pictures above. So far this thread has answered a few of my questions (THANK YOU) as i had also expected to see a 409 relay, where the 167 currently sits. Could somebody just confirm for me, should my car have a 409 and should I go and get that part, replace it and then see what happens? its only a $30 part so cheap enough. Thanks in advance

I too have just found this these on Google! Most helpful.

Wi save me getting annoyed and searching everywhere for a 409 when I swap mine out tomorrow!
