Looking to replace The Engine Fan Relay on my 1990 S3. Can't to find a part number or where they might be available. It's a 5 prong relay. Any help gratefully appreciated.

The relay I'm after is the same as in phillpot's picture but with an additional connector in the middle 87A; i.e. the same as TwinKam type B. I presume that if I follow phillpot's advice and go to any decent motor factor then I should be able to pick up what I'm after, or are they available elsewhere? Many thanks.

Quick update. In the product information for the 5 pin relay recommended by phillpot above it states that the terminal configuration is Type B, which is what I'm after. Once again many thanks.

Relay arrived today, fitted it and took the car for a spin to get the temperature up, the fan kicked in just below the red line, great news. Quick question - apart from old age why would a relay fail?
