Default Where is my secondary air pump relay?

Where is the secondary air pump relay on a 2000 A6 2.7T

Sorry for the crosspost but no one is looking at my other thread anymore.... I think I have my problem narrowed down to this part.

Should be near the fuse box under the dash, my ETKA program does not have a pic showing where it is. The part number is 8D0 951 253A my ETKA program also shows a location code # 2/373, might ask the dealer what this means. Go get yourself a bentley Manual and it will show you where it is.

I looked under my hood.... I don't have a relay panel that looks like that. The only thing I could find was in the ECM box. My 2000 A6 has 1 relay in there and my 2003 Allroad has 2 relays in there. I am going to swap the relays that are the same and see if my engine light comes back.

As you can tell... I am just stabbing in the dark. I know I need to get a bentley... I wish I could find a hard copy insead of the cd's that are all over ebay.

the plate should look like that but wont have all the relays and fuses most are for the diesel engine ( there should be places on the plate to fit them though )

Sorry.... I just can't find a plate like that under the hood anywhere. I did find some relays but nothing on a plate like that. I looked by the ecm box and the battery and even in the ecm box + everywhere else in the engine bay that can be seen without removing anthing.

I am starting to think this plate is under the dash.

I do appreciate everyones help.... one would think that something like this would not be that hard to find.

Back to looking.... if anyone has any more ideas let me know.

Still confused and unable to pinpoint where the relay is.

Anyone have a Bentley with a pic or explanation?
