Needing to replace the FI relay under the rear seat on a squareback. Does anyone know if they make a new replacement (OEM or aftermarket) or is finding a used one the way to go?

You can probably find a new one from places like Pelican Parts, or Auto Atlanta. Keep in mind you'll probably pay Porsche prices for them. Or you could go to your local salvage yard and look for a Volvo, or a BMW, or even a Merc for a good used one (they're a fairly common relay). Even the Samba classifieds should have one. Keep in mind that these relays don't just quit, as they are built to last. I hope this helps.
