Re: Relay help needed
Which relay in the pic Rob, 42 ? If so, 42 is for the low water level sensor circuit.
p.s. = The same item as relay 43 btw, just different design inside. Oh and of course it is not a relay but quite a complex little circuit.

The indicators and hazards work with it removed.And the lights on buzzer fitted in its place.

Re: Relay help needed
Glad you tracked it down. Went out to check mine for you too Rob, but I don't have a relay there as no fog lights fitted to my Syncro.

Re: Relay help needed
Theres no fogs on my velle.And no sign there ever has been.But the relay is there.Maybe VW put it in just in case.
