I have taken a photo of the relays located under the dashboard see below, I can see relays numbered 373, 370, 53, 460, 395, 449 but have no idea which is which, anyone know which one is the fuel pump relay? I also tested the voltage on the fuel pump fuse and found 12.5v with the ignition off...

Thanks, but where is it located? I can only see one relay in the battery fuse box (the one marked 100).

Thanks for the replies, I have just checked and the Anti Shudder valve is definitely open. I disconnected the plug to it and swapped the 10a fuse next to the battery for a new one. Tried restarting with no success, however the fuse was not blown this time so I guess the fault must be elsewhere...

I just had a similar problem on my 2007 A3 Sportsback where the wiper would occasionaly pack up, the washer fluid wouldnt come out and the alarm would go off sporadically ! I decided to remove the trim covering the wiper motor to see what was going on. Turns out there was a leak inside the...
