Depends on what setup you have got. If it has a relay generally they are mounted next to either battery. But if it has a Zig unit it will just have a changover switch which when set to touring connects the two batteries.

Relay on later VW leisure charge circuits 'with batteries behind both seats' is positioned next to the leisure battery (drivers side if a left hooker)

Correct relay is a 5 terminal double contact type like this one:

i think it a bit of a diy job
the van is a whitestar with leisure batt connections under drivers seat left hand and starter batt in the engine bay.
i think it might be a case of tracing the wires as i have 2 for the pos on the leisure batt
is there a diagram for leisure batt
