Audi VW Fuel Pump Relay - Genuine Audi VW 5Q0906093C

Product Information

A fuel pump relay is an electrical component that controls the power sent to the fuel pump. It’s usually located in the fuse box and plays a critical role in starting the fuel pump, which then supplies fuel to the engine. The relay ensures that the pump receives power only when needed, such as when the ignition is on, allowing the engine to start and run efficiently.

• Engine Won’t Start: One of the most common symptoms of a failed fuel pump relay is a no-start condition. If the relay isn’t sending power to the fuel pump, the engine won’t receive the fuel it needs to start
• Intermittent Stalling: If the fuel pump relay is failing or losing connection intermittently, the engine may stall while driving, as the fuel pump will lose power momentarily. This is especially common if the relay is overheating or has a loose internal connection
• Rough Idle or Hesitation: A failing relay may cause irregular fuel delivery, leading to rough idling or hesitation during acceleration, as the engine isn’t receiving a steady fuel supply

You may not realize this, but the parts that make up your VAG are not necessarily manufactured by VAG. No cause for concern, as VAG designs the part, hires a manufacturer, and ensures its quality to you. In fact, many of these manufacturers have been making parts for VAG for decades. In our industry these manufacturers are called OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers), and these are often brands you recognize, including Lemforder, ZF, Sachs, Bosch, Valeo, Zimmermann, Siemens VDO, Corteco, and more. Don’t be surprised to open that Genuine VAG parts box and find an OEM branded part inside, simply with the addition of a VAG logo.
