Wanted: 3rd Gen - Main Fuel Relay

Hi guys,

I’m after a 3rd Gen Main Fuel Relay for a 2.0i 4WS model please.

See picture below:





If you have one, please let me know.

Thanks

Is there something up with your old one? Is it the same issue that impacts 4th gens? The engine won't start once the car has been warmed up?

Yes correct - it blows the fuse too when connected. I’ve had the same issue in the past with my 4th Gen’s.

It is possible to fix these relays, it might be worth having a go if you can't find a new one. You need to get a soldering iron and take off the old solder and replace it with some new blobs. It is likely that the offending solder points are discoloured, so should be a bit easier to identify. It should only take 10 mins to do.

Thanks @Merlin. I’m looking to get a spare anyway as it seems to be a common issue. Once I get it started and moved, I’ll repair the broken one.

Now found. I was able to source one from Tegiwa for £60.00 with 2 years guarantee.

Great that you found one.
Was that a new part or used?
