Scirocco Register

I had a non-VW fuel pump relay in my car and every time I turned the key to aux I could hear the fuel pump prime.

I now have a VW fuel pump relay but when I turn the key now...nothing.

Car still runs fine, I'm just wondering if this is normal. Can't understand why a new relay should behave differently.

Its normal..some do some and some dont....most of the cars I had over the years didnt prime before start up and had no running problems.

My Mk1 Golf Gti with a DX engine in has never primed the fuel pump and it starts and runs with no problems.

If it works I would not worry about it priming the pump.

As above my Mk1 Golf GTi primes but my Mk1 rocco GLi doesnt, both start as quick as each other

That's good to know, I had to replace both pumps a couple of years ago, just wanted to make sure I wasn't heading for some more problems.

Thanks.

My Storm used to with a non VW relay, since having to change the relay it doesn't but works fine.
