Matt Buzzkill Posted December 31, 2020 Report Share Posted December 31, 2020 Hi all, My Lupo sometimes won't start and will also just cut out when driving. Last night I had driven for an hour, stopped for 5 mins and then had to walk home! I've read about the 109 relay being a problem but after digging around I can't seem to find it in there. Is this normal? I pulled out the 100 and there seems to be a 405, 19 and a couple of others. Any help would be much appreciated. Also, if anyone has a surefire way to get in there that would be great. Got scratched to bits! Cheers, Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1888 Posted December 31, 2020 Report Share Posted December 31, 2020 Any chance like this guy its upside down and you have a 601? http://www.vwaudiforum.co.uk/forum/showthread.php/155127-Polo-1-4-TDI-won-t-start?s=205540d58b0ea99723d0cd40aac3c3da Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Buzzkill Posted January 1, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2021 I did wonder that but the closest I seem to have is 100. Trying to find a relay diagram online and from the only one I have found there is no mention of 109. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mk2 Posted January 1, 2021 Report Share Posted January 1, 2021 Happy new year to everyone who hits the 'all activity' tab to read the latest! Yeah the relay should be marked 109, unless someone has replaced it with a lower power version. It's not just Lupos where they fail (Golfs, Jettas, Passats etc). Have a read, saves me saying it all again here: https://forums.tdiclub.com/index.php?threads/relay-109-main-power-supply-fuse.31070/ Once you've removed the cover panels, the fuse panel folds out of the way to allow acess. You'll see the 'hinge' point in grey plastic. You need to use a hair dryer to make those wires a bit more flexible in this icy weather, or it'll be like it's jammed in there solid. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Buzzkill Posted January 1, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2021 Thanks for the info!! I'll have another look. The fuse box did not seem to have room to push back or up at all so had to squeeze through. Super difficult. Cheers, Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
