yes...the soldered contacts break easily over time due to age and vibration....MADE WORSE by Porsche's idiotic design of the terminals being oriented to plug-in sideways....leaving the relay BODY hanging in space ! ( picture in post #3, here, with the relay cover off). Therefore, there is a tremendous moment-arm leveraging of the circuit board.
Solution?....( or at least, "big-help"?)--> place a rubber block under the unsupported relay body such that you take the bending stress ( gravity) off the body and its plug-in connection.
