Detailed Description

The Vemo V10-71-0001 starter relay is an electrical switching component used in starting circuits where a 5-pin relay layout and normally open contact design are required. It is listed with a 12-volt rating, 25A current capacity, and relay number 219, making it a direct-spec replacement for the applications shown. This part cross-references Gates 19993 for the same application.

For Volkswagen Touareg and Volkswagen Passat models, as well as Audi A6, A6 Quattro, RS6, S6, V8 Quattro, and 200 Quattro applications, this relay supports the starter control path by switching current through the correct relay terminals. The V10-71-0001 part number is also useful when matching an existing relay by connector count, voltage, and relay function.

Common Issues This Relay May Address

• No-crank condition when the starter circuit is not receiving the relay signal
• Intermittent starting caused by worn relay contacts
• Starter engagement problems related to relay switching failure
• Electrical relay mismatch during replacement service
• Fault tracing when the original relay is identified as relay number 219

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the relay number, connector count, and terminal layout before installation. Confirm the vehicle uses a 12V system and a 5-pin starter relay configuration that matches the listed applications. Compare the original relay housing dimensions and terminal arrangement to the Vemo V10-71-0001 before installation in Volkswagen Touareg, Volkswagen Passat, and Audi applications.

Use the vehicle wiring diagram and relay socket identification to confirm the correct terminal positions, especially when replacing an existing starter relay in Audi A6, Audi RS6, or Audi 200 Quattro models. If the original relay shows heat damage, inspect the socket and surrounding wiring before installing the replacement.

Quality Assurance

Vemo VEMO electrical components are cataloged for vehicle-specific replacement use and are identified here by part number V10-71-0001, relay number 219, and the listed electrical specifications. Confirm fitment against the vehicle application and relay markings before installation.
