Default rs turbo fuel problem.

ive run out of ideas and hopefully you tech's can help me out,i parked up at a mates the other day with no problems,went to start the car when leaving and it would turn over but not start up,1st i thought my fuel pump had stoped working,but ive tested the fuel pump straight from a battery and it spins,tested the wires to the fuel pump and theres no reading,i searched and found to check fuel pump relay,it still clicks and seems fine,my mate no's how to test relay and is coming round 1day to have alook,just wondering if theres anything else i could check.

any help would be great

When you turn the ignition on you should hear the fuel pump cut in

Still sounds like relay to me.
Take the pink plastic cover off it and hold the contacts inside together and see if it kicks in

Or take the relay out and bridge out the connector to test it.

As said above, bridge the relay. If still no pump running check of you have voltage to it.
I had the exact same thing happen to me when I had my first s2 about 8 years ago and that was the relay.
