Hey Kate, I believe you mentioned that you're in the L.A. area. Well, Bill & Steve's in Downey, Ca. has relays for about 5 bucks and change. I had a similar problem last year while temporarily held over in New Jersey. Some guy offered to order one for me for $25.00!! On a trip home to L.A., I bought an extra one just in case. Bill & Steve's is a T3 Specialty Shop. They also run an ad in Hot VWs and VW Trends. --Good luck. -----Original Message----- From: Kater900@aol.com <Kater900@aol.com> To: type3@vwtype3.org <type3@vwtype3.org> Date: Saturday, June 12, 1999 12:42 AM Subject: [T3] fuel pump switch >Hi , > >It's me, Kate again.
