Thanks Scotty (and Steve), however this is not the case in mine, and I have checked with the shop, and behold...mine does not have a "30"-relay.
But all hope is not lost...there's supposed to be a "443 951 253L"-relay governing the fuelpump, and this one may cause the same sympthomes, so as soon as I get home, I'll check. This one is located inside the main fusebox, left side (LHD) under the hood.
My audi 80 2.0e had flat spots and a bit of a lag, found the "30" relay, resoldered it, now runs much better, the whole running is smoother, feels more powerful and seems that the engine runs a bit cooler, sits around 90, when it used to be around 100!
Top tip ans only took 1/2 hr to do!
Replace Relay 30 on 1995 Audi Avant 2.0L E, fingers crossed so far.
So far soooo good, smooth and silky no judders

I'm still in the dark about what is causing my judder...maybe I'm nearing solitude in this thread?
Hi i have an audi coupe 1995 2.0, abk engine .the problem is that it will start at the first turn of the key and run perfectly but after about 10 minutes or so it starts to shudder and splutter eventually getting worse until it cuts out. So far i have replaced the distributor, leads, coil, vaccuum hoses, ecu power relay no 30, all to no avail. i ran a diagnostic on it today and got the following codes:
00513 engine speed sensor g28
00522 engine coolant temp sensor g62 27-00 implausible signal.
the car is in mint condition and this problem is doing my head in, can anyone shed some light on what the codes mean, ive already replaced the temp sensor so im lost here!
thanks in advance
Have been owner of Avant estate M reg since July last year
Have consistently had a similar problem of juddering and misfiring- but it only happens after travelling on long distances at relatively higher speeds
eg motorway at constant speed of around 65 to 75mph- after going for between say 1.25 hours to 1.50 hours, engine looses power and starts to judder- and eg on a major trunk road with plenty of dual carriage way, at slightly lower speeds, usually takes slightly longer before the same problem occurs
If I then go into next service station or similar, switch off engine and start up again after about 45 mins, then problem doesnt occur again until about just over 1 hour later
Have so far replaced
coil
fuel filter
cam belt [plus water pump at same time to save potential future costs]
fuel pump
distributor cap
rotor arm
Any advice on whether I should try replacing the infamous relay 30 would be appreciated.
Also what about replacing the ignition leads and distributor seeing that Ive already spent a small fortune without success
Hi,
I have only had my 1995 2.0 Avant for two weeks. Just after I purchased it i noticed the judder during the 1 hour drive home. I was surprised as the car was only serviced 1000 miles ago.
I looked on the forums regarding this judder and came across "relay 30".
Sure enough I checked mine, and there were two dry joints. I bought a new one from VW for £11 and fitted it in the car park.
Now the car has been on several runs down to the kent coast with no judder.
Hope this helps.

The relay is located under the steering wheel. There are four screws holding a panel/shelf. Remove the screws and take out the panel/shelf. Look in the hole and there are a number of relays, on my car relay 30 was near the back and upside down.
