Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Suggestion

I expect Tony eliminated the relay by bridging the terminals on the relay board, but if a new relay doesn't fix it, get him to check the fuel pump connector.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

The Turbo is currently with my specialist (having arrived last night on a truck) following a failure of the fuel pump relay. The pump itself appears to be ok. Does the Turbo have any known fuel pump issues or is this likely to be a one off?

POST 2Original post

Apparently, the Turbo fuel pump draws more current than the Carrera (not surprising, I suppose) and although relay failures are rare, they do occur. I expect Tony eliminated the relay by bridging the terminals on the relay board, but if a new relay doesn't fix it, get him to check the fuel pump connector.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks, Richard. I'll pass it on.

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Sorted. New relay. Everything else tested and appears ok. I'm tempted to buy another relay and keep it in the glovebox just in case.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
