I post this on the mk-ivs but its shit so thought i'd ask you lot aswell because im not clued up.. Basically on my mums bora there is a relay playing up, but when i jiggle it, it begins to work again its also gets very hot.. Would replacing the relay fix the problem or should is it more likely to be the where it plugs into? Thanks for the help

maybe and yes
its probably a loose connection either in the plug of a broken wire in the relay itself

dude dont do it! all relays are the same either 4 or 5 pin! on the bottom they have the numbers 30. which is your constant 12v live
85. is to earth 86 is your switching feed and 87 is what ever your powering relays cost pennies mate

Trust VAG to make them an odd size so its not as simple as getting a cheap one.
