Yes it is the relay making the noise, but it's the turn signal switch that letting power get to the relay, and causing the random activation (clicking noise)....
Yeah I would get them to do a complete flush. Mostly because they not only used the non manufacturer required coolant but they also used Preston coolant...

Okay, after all the discussion about timing belts, I decided to get off my rusty-dusty and call a VW dealer to inquire about replacing the timing belt on my...

You can remove it quite easily with a simple hook tool. If you are careful enough removing the part of the clip which stays in the pilar, you can even re-use...
