Washer pump relay (J576) location

Post by odvog »

Hi,
I have a LHD Polo from 2016 with the 1.4 tdi CUSB engine and i am trying to figure out where the relay for the windscreen washer pump (J576) is located. It is not on the relay carrier under the dash or in any fuse panel. I have access to ElsaWin and the only information i have managed to find is a wiring diagram that contains this relay (see below). Has anyone ever replaced one of those and might know where it is in the car? Thanks

Thank you for that but in my car the relay carrier only has one big relay in the R4 spot (propably fuel pump). Also i have looked in the relay fitting locations inside elsawin and it doesnt say anything about j576. This is how my carrier looks like.

Test the two 646 relays to the right of your relay carrier.

🤔... perhaps the relay positions are in the opposite direction on the first row of relays in your 6C.
