The relay is the one with the empty fuse socket on the top, and is in the fuse panel on the right side kick panel. The tricky thing with this relay is there are separate contacts for the pump and coils so it is possible for one to work while the other is bad. Same for jumping the relay- be sure to jump the coils AND the pump. I am 98.43% sure they are separate contacts on the base of the relay.

>>> Hey, well had a part of a day to check out the 5-speed.  No voltage @ Fuel Pump Relay/Fuse.  Put Voltage to pump and runs, but car still won't start(on starting fluid either....tries to but stumbles).  Newish caps/rotors/plugwires/plugs.  Flywheel sensors tested fine, but swapped for 2 OEM that also tested fine.  I was under the impression that ECU sends voltage to the relay/fuse.  Haven't messed with ignition switch, but was wondering if the ABT chip in the ECU could cause ECU flakiness.  Hoping it's not the ECU, and if so, who know's what's different between the 5-speed ECU and the Auto.  I've got spare Auto's, but no such luck on the 5-speed.  I"ve had 3 bad ECU's in my life(non audi).....Any help would be appreciated....Tom
