1G quick question, where is the MPI relay?

[ben90tsi]

my cars not starting and i just wanted to know where the mpi relay is located, i searched the forums and found it might be under the radio in a gold box or something? does this mean i have to take my radio out to get at it? thanks in advance

Yes, its in the center console below the radio attached to the right metal support. You don't have to take the radio out. You might be able to reach it if you just take the carpet off the passenger side of the console.

thanks man i actually just got done checking the ecu and mpi realay after reading your post, i wish i would have read it before though because i took the radio out too. mpi worked fine and ecu smelt a little funny and had a little brownish burn looking spot,thats about it. i dont know if that could be the reason my cars not starting...

when the ECUs are goin bad they can small fishy (or so i'm told) and have the brown burn area like you are talking about. i never noticed a smell when my ecu went limp...but definately turned brown. hope this helps man
