Default Help/advice needed

S2 rs turbo still on mfi drove to metrocentre fine then parked up for an hour came out and on start up it spluttered and popped then fired up and idled at~500 rpm for a minute then idled like normal. After about 2 mins it cut out and now won't fire I can't hear the pump prime now either and looking at the purple relay the base looks distorted

As a test to see if it is the relay that's goosed get yourself a bit of cable & bridge the thick brown wire & the black with a red stripe wire in the relay holder.
With this link piece in when you turn your ignition on the fuel pump should run constantly so try & start the car, if it runs you know there's something wrong with the relay.

I wouldn't drive the car with the link wire in though it's purely a way of testing the relay. For a new relay an mfi xr3i one is exactly the same.
