Question:
what are some symptoms of a failing DME RELAY?
The DME relay, referred to as the fuel pump relay in your owner's manual, is
located on the relay panel above your left foot (when you are in the driver's
seat, of course).
There are two independent relays in one unit which operate when the ignition
is on. One provides 12V to the DME, the other provides 12V to the fuel pump.
Since a spare relay costs only about $22 at your dealer, (with your PCA
discount) you should carry a spare when and if it's needed.
The part number is 993 615 227 00 and the relay is located in position two on
the relay panel. That is the second from the left on the top row.
As to symptoms of impending total failure, many have mentioned unexplained
engine cutouts and random stoppages followed by short term recoveries until
total failure.
