Is this part a fuel pump relay?



>16V Scirocco: "Lambda Relay"
>Also, has anyone ever had a fuel pump relay go wacky on them for a while=
 instead of just going bad?

yup.  Just recently in the Cabriolet, what i thought was a faulty ignitio=
n switch turned out to be a bad fuel pump relay.  the car wouldn't start =
but was cranking fine.  took the relay out and put it back in and the car=
 started right up.  Few minutes later the car wouldn't start agian.

Is your fuel pump working? Can you hear it hum when you turn the ignition=
 on?  If not, use a jumper wire to jump terminals 87 and 30 on the fuel p=
ump relay and see if the pump hums then.  If it does, then your relay is =
bad.
